Business Continuity Planning
REACT AND RECOVER QUICKLY FROM UNEXPECTED ISSUES
Business continuity planning is the process of creating systems of prevention and recovery to deal with potential threats to a company. In today's rapidly changing and global world, there is no such thing as ‘business as usual’, and the ability to anticipate, react and adapt to – and triumph over – events or situations that could affect your business success should be a key part of your organisation’s strategy.
IMPROVING YOUR RISK MATURITY CAN BE EASIER THAN YOU THINK
Business Continuity planning is an excellent way to ensure you have a plan of action around the key aspects of your business, should something go wrong. In the heat of the moment when you need your teams to be focused, you’ll be ahead of the issue by knowing you’ve already got a plan to help deal with the situation.
KEY ELEMENTS OF A BCP INCLUDE;
-
Identification and prioritisation of what you do operationally, what you need to do it, and what’s essential versus optional.
-
Who is responsible in each area and how to contact them 24/7.
-
Anticipating a variety of problems and how to overcome them.
-
Scenario planning around what would be required to keep the key elements of services you provide operational, initially at an emergency level, with a plan to pivot to a sustainable level as soon as possible.

Your plan will be unique to your business and crucially should answer WHAT, WHEN, WHO and HOW,
to adapt or respond on the fly.
