Business Continuity is doing whatever is necessary to ensure your organization is able to carry on operations during as well as after a disruption or disaster. Most plans have four key elements. First, they strive to ensure Resilience and make your organization able to withstand interruptions and adverse conditions. Second, they give you a path to Recovery so your organization can return to operations. Third, they lay out a Contingency plan to help you make the transition from normal operations to a recovery state and back again. Last and most importantly, the plan gives you a path for Ongoing Improvement and advancement throughout your operations.
You will learn what the advantage of having a plan is, whether a plan is really necessary, what a plan should consist of, and what the costs involved are. Dawn will walk you through a simple approach to creating your own plan, and provide you with a link to some downloadable assets to get you started.
