Bus/Financial - Management
English term or phrase: redundancies
Contexte : on explique le bien-fondé d'établir un plan de continuité des activités en cas de catastrophe (pandémies, par exemple). Le sens de "redondance" ici ne me semble pas évident. Merci à l'avance.

"Efforts put into this planning process are not only important in case of potential interruption. It can also strengthen the entire organization by helping you identify redundancies and find efficiencies. As well, it can enhance your image by demonstrating a proactive attitude."

Reference: Redondances et chevauchements

Reference information:
Puisqu'on parle d'un plan d'intervention en cas de catastrophe et que ces plans font généralement appel à plusieurs intervenants de diverses organisations/entités sinon de divers milieux, il peut être important de distinguer "redondances" (répétition, superfluité, renchérissement, superfétation) et "chevauchements" (croisement, recoupement, superposition):

"...Se pose dès lors la question des chevauchements et des redondances (...) On parle de chevauchement dès lors que plusieurs entités interviennent dans un même domaine de coopération technique. (...) On dira qu’il y a redondance si
ces entités font plus ou moins le même type de travail ou fournissent en gros les mêmes compétences. Les termes chevauchement et redondance ont donc un sens
très différent."
http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp...

"Le fait de ne pas coordonner les efforts accroît la possibilité de chevauchements inutiles (...) Notre résilience (...) dépend (...) des redondances (s’il en est) dans les systèmes complexes des infrastructures essentielles. "
"Uncoordinated efforts increase the likelihood of wasteful duplication of efforts (...) Our resilience – our ability to respond and recover from a disruption – depends on the readiness of people and institutions, as well as redundancies..."
http://www.securitepublique.gc.ca/prg/em/ci/cnus-ct-pln-fra....
http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/prg/em/ci/cnus-ct-pln-eng.aspx

"... disposent d’un secteur public pléthorique, caractérisé par une prolifération d’organismes, (...) des redondances fonctionnelles et des chevauchements parmi les organismes ainsi que dans et
entre les ministères."
"... has a large public sector marked by a proliferation of agencies (...) functional duplications and overlaps among agencies and within and between departments."
