Element 1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: Robust Methodologies and Quality Knowledge-based Resources.
The EPCB Affiliate Resources Kit, accessed via the internet, provides building blocks which franchisees tailor to meet the needs of clients. Examples include Plan Templates which support planning processes, Power Point Presentations which support workshops, plus exercises and training aligned with EPCB's approach to business continuity & emergency planning.
EPCB's Buttress® consulting module is a "capacity building system" which aligns with the EPCB approach of integrating Business Continuity - especially Business Impact Assessment and Risk Assessment with Crisis Management Planning. At he core of the approach is the management principle "good decisions are based on good information and good communication". This methodology underpinning the software has been validated with both government and mulit-national private sector clients. (Promoted on the internationally respected portal "Continuity Central", January 2010). Where the franchisee sells Buttress® to a client, the head office receives a 20% commission on the sale.

NB While EPCB Affiliates demonstrate alignment with EPCB approaches, they maintain their independence as individual consultants.
This independence includes responsibility for their own performance and coverage of their liabilities.
Rights to display and use the EPCB logo
You may use the "perched precariously on the cliff" logo on your promotional, training and other materials (including consulting proposals). This logo was commissioned from Rob Pudim, a well known artist in disaster management circles, Rob has been the dedicated cartoonist of the Natural Hazards Observer for many years. The logo illustrates risk as a function of hazard, vulnerability and exposure.
You cannot resell the image “as-is”, or in any configuration where the image itself becomes the main selling point. Examples of unacceptable usage would be T-Shirts and coffee mugs etc. - where the intention is to sell such products.
Referrals
Leads received through the head office will be forwarded to the best placed affiliate.
The best placed affiliate will be a head office decision based on client needs, provider proximity and best service fit.
Element 2. PROMOTIONAL / INFORMATIVE: A Hosted Web Presence - A platform within a highly ranked website, promoting your business globally.
A listing, by name and region, on the EPCB "About Us" page. This listing is hyperlinked to your dedicated, EPCB hosted web page. Your EPCB hosted web page is customized to include information you provide - specifically, an image (usually a "head and shoulders" photograph), around 300 to 500 words about your experience and your specific consulting service specialities; and contact information comprised of a nominated person, telephone contact and an email hyperlink.
