Business continuity management
Having a Business Continuity Management Plan in place should enable you to continue to provide your service or business should something happen to the the normal day to day provision.
What does a Business Continuity Management plan look like?
It highlights all the critical parts of your business/service and the impact on the business/service should you not be able to operate eg major flooding of your building
How do I write a plan?
- Identify your critical (must do) elements of your business/services for normal day to day operation
- Identify who is responsible for ensuring day to day operations continue
- Identify the impact of not being able to operate normally
- Identify alternative ways of operating where possible
Who should be involved in writing the plan?
- key stakeholders – such as staff/board members
- seek advice from customers/suppliers – what are their expectations?
How do I test the plan?
- Run a desk-top exercise simulating different scenarios that could impact on your ability to operate your normal day to day business/service
- Run a simulation of an incident that would enable you to see it from different points of view and record the learning from this
