Business Continuity
company groups are appearing more and more. Really, who can blame
them? That is, the World we now live in has a significant risk to
all organizations. The threats of natural disaster and terrorism are
in peoples minds far more than the 1990’s.
Business Continuity
company – poor planning
There are numerous
examples of companies suffering due to poor Business Contingency
Planning. In the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, 150 companies
went out of business (out of 350 affected).
Not a good statistic.
However, an incident
does not need to be a terrorist attack to have a massive impact on
an organisation.
These are interesting
statistics which speak volumes on the preparedness of those
organizations.
Business Continuity
company – one more statistic
For instance, in the
case of fires, 44% of businesses fail to reopen and 33% of these
failed to survive beyond 3 years. The examples could be continued
indefinitely.
At the end of the day,
businesses need to have plans in place to cope with incidents and
thereby avoid major business interruptions. This is where the
Business Continuity Companies come in, to help you prepare for those
difficult times.
The Business
Continuity Management Process really must be driven by people who
have been there and done that.
Before even starting
to create a Business Continuity Plan it is of vital importance to
get the full support of the management and governance of your
organization. Then start to look for a good organization to guide
you through the rest of the way.
Also remember,
directors should be involved in the strategic design of the BCP as
it will help to create a realistic plan which will be focused on the
business interests of the company.
