Expect the unexpected

How quickly – and painlessly – you manage to get back to ‘business as usual’ in the event of a terrorist attack, fire, flood or other natural disaster, or any other major interruption, depends on how effectively you can devise, and put into action, your own business continuity management.
Business continuity management can best be defined as:
‘A holistic management process that identifies potential impacts that threaten an organisation and provides a framework for building resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities.’
(Business Continuity Institute, 2001.)
Building-in business continuity, making it part of the way that you run your business, rather than having to ‘firefight’ any emergency, helps prepare you to offer ‘business as usual’ in the quickest possible time. Planned business continuity management, so that your staff, customers and suppliers are reassured that you have an effective policy and practice for managing the unexpected, helps build confidence in your business.
