Who We Are
Vision Continuity is an SBA certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that provides leadership advisory and continuity expertise to government and commercial clients. Our organization functions in multiple verticals and our code of ethics express our core values of serving, caring, and relationship building.
Experience Matters
With nearly 20 years of experience providing IT and business consulting services to the federal government, the leadership team at Vision Continuity saw an opportunity to bring the “no-fail” continuity planning methodologies required by the military to the private sector.
The company was formed during the COVID-19 global pandemic to serve the needs of both government and commercial clients across the nation. The scale of the impact caused by COVID-19 on government operations and traditional business was unprecedented. Many organizations found themselves woefully unprepared to deal with the consequences brought on by the pandemic. Consequences such as sporadic and long-term closures, technology changes, staff shortages, and vendor and supply chain interruptions. Approximately one-third of U.S. small businesses that were operating in January of 2020 were closed as of March of 2021.
Vision Continuity brings practical, mission-focused risk management and continuity planning solutions to help government and commercial clients identify and build resilience around only the most vital elements of their operations. The goal is to reach a level of true preparedness that operational durability can be assured.
“A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”
