Developing and utilizing a business continuity plan protects your company, its personnel, facilities, materials, and activities from the broad spectrum of risks that face businesses and government agencies on a daily basis, whether at home or internationally. Business Continuity Management presents concepts that can be applied in part, or full, to your business, regardless of its size or number of employees. The comprehensive spectrum of useful concepts, approaches and systems, as well as specific management guidelines and report templates for over forty risk types, will enable you to develop and sustain a continuity management plan essential to compete, win, and safely operate within the complex and fluid global marketplace.
This book is designed to help companies provide usable policies and plans to enable any staff member or manager to understand how to initially manage a broad array of problems at the outset of a crisis event, as they wait until specialist help arrives, regardless of their background and area of expertise. It provides a sensible and clear background on both common and unique problems a company may face, what information is required to better define and manage the problem, as well as guidelines on how to initially respond to safeguard both the company and employees. It reduces the impact of a crisis event during the period that specialist help is being mobilized, and where the greatest effects of the problem will invariably occur.
