Bord Bia's Readiness Radar

As Ireland and many of our export markets begin to emerge from lockdown and face into a different post-COVID-19 world, existing risks have not gone away. In March 2020, Bord Bia launched the Bord Bia Readiness Radar, a new risk diagnostic tool assessing industry challenges across six key areas: COVID-19, Brexit, Challenges to Market Diversification, Sustainability Pressures, Consumer Insights and Innovation and Talent Management.

The findings of the Readiness Radar were launched at a virtual event on Thursday, July 2nd 2020.

The Readiness Radar aims to help businesses to examine their preparedness and setting of priorities to ensure the continued success of their business in this volatile world.

As in previous years with the Brexit ‘Readiness Radar’, companies were invited to complete the Risk Readiness survey, and all who participated receive an individual, bespoke Risk Readiness Gap Analysis report focusing specifically on the results for their business.

The report highlights the relationship between the level of preparedness and impact on the six key risks, and includes specific guidance on how to become more mature at managing these key risks and closing gaps where they exist. It also provides recommendations on how the company can access and engage with Bord Bia’s services in a more strategic way to develop its Risk Management strategy.
