Second expert opinion

To reduce doubt, promote a better understanding, obtain the point of view of a neutral expert and to find the essential arguments for an effective decision, we are offering you a second opinion.

Far from being an approach of distrust or lack of confidence in your internal resources or a lack of respect for external collaborators, the use of a second expert opinion can be very beneficial, for instance:

  • Following a worrying situation, a major incident or a crisis.
  • It can also simply be used to validate certain aspects of a case or an initiative.

This can be done in collaboration with your internal resources or in a strategic mode under the seal of strict confidentiality for senior executives or a specific decision maker.

Why and when to use a counter-expertise approach?

In the business continuity, emergency measures and crisis management industry, second opinions are generally used in situations other than internal company management. It usually involves two parties independent of each other when a doubt, disagreement or legal issue arises, for example:

  • Have an independent expert review the insurer’s report and limit premium increases.
  • Benefit from a second opinion on the level of maturity and readiness of a company in case of interruption of operations.
  • Lawsuit, litigation or court order.
