Fostering Resilient and Engaging Workplaces

Covenant Park Integrated Initiatives, Inc. (Covenant Park) is a leading provider of riskbased contingency planning functioning under the mantle of resilience across multinational corporations and government agencies. It specializes in crafting and implementing national-level policy standards and guidance for critical missions and operations. In keeping with their tagline, “Resilient Missions Worldwide,” Covenant Park has been competing and winning contracts against some of the most reputable consulting firms in the world.

Covenant Park goes above and beyond ordinary client support to implement resiliency standards and policies. Its professional services, qualifications, and significant past performance help them develop powerful risk-based methodologies to strengthen their risk management capability. It fuses traditional risk management methods of decoding an organization’s needs using a mission/essential functions baseline to portray the prioritized application of limited client resources.

“We utilize limited resources and plan protective models for personnel and business operations, which provide a strong planning foundation if the situation goes sideways,” says Curtis L. Bartell, President and CEO of Covenant Park. Serving limited clients, it insists on a level of integrity to costeffectively enhance the quality of its client’s programs.

There is no one-size-fits-all; Covenant Park tailors solutions per the needs of its clients. It understands an organization’s mission, gathers resources, and determines the risk to its missions. Taking a distinct and unique approach, it uses its capabilities and technologies to recommend and implement the best preventive solutions in line with a client’s actual needs to minimize risks.

Covenant Park believes that compliance with a set of rules is insufficient and stifles creative and efficient solutions. Addressing the bottom-line concerns of an organization beyond compliance is essential. Rejecting the notion that merely establishing compliance means success, Covenant Park provides a deliberate methodology to raise awareness regarding the importance of in-depth planning and help them create a robust emergency management program for day-to-day operational efficiencies.

Organizations can no longer check the box and expect to be prepared or understand risks every day.

Taking a conventional consulting process, it manages resources with qualified and quantified priorities to level the risk involved. It discards the idea of a shortcut to safety or preparedness and deploys proven methods to execute practical resilience models that strengthen risk management capabilities. These proven methodologies are executed by Covenant Park’s senior consultants and subject matter experts. Its employee retention rate is just over 80% and speaks to the “employee first” insistence of the owner to provide highly experienced experts and personnel who guide clients to the best solution.

Covenant Park empowers its employees with a familial culture of care, mentorship, and inspiration. It prioritizes support systems to help them reach their maximum potential and provides generous benefits catering to each individual. Covenant Park practices the adage, “Take care of your people, and your people will take care of you.”

A case in point is how Covenant Park helped one of its clients prioritize over 600 emergency management and security projects when the budget allowed only five percent accomplishment of projects. Its resiliency formula determined the 30 projects out of 600 that would achieve the highest value. Covenant Park resolved the matter efficiently and received national-level recognition and praise as a result.

In another instance, one of its clients with a global market and thus impact/influence needed to document their complex business process. Covenant Park’s efforts broke through the thought barrier of business line owners, giving them clear ideas about the risks involved and how they compared to the other operational elements. It assisted the client in planning a resilience and continuity model without breaking the bank.

At a time when people often downplay the importance of a holistic risk management system, Covenant Park is establishing comprehensive methodologies to restore its significance and build resilient organizations.
