Business Continuity Management offers great value if understood and applied correctly
/EINPresswire.com/ Business Continuity Management (BCM) can offer great value – both in terms of value for money and stakeholder confidence – to an organisation, but more often than not it’s seen as a drain of resources insisted upon by external regulators or customers.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, “Business continuity management is essential for every organisation that is dependent on people, systems and technology, to operate. I cannot think of one that is not. Adverse events will always happen - only a proven approach to business continuity management can help an organisation survive a big disaster and get back to business as usual.
“An on-going process of business continuity and risk management will also help you improve processes and efficiency and leave you better prepared to exploit new opportunities.”
Books are a useful resource for shaping a BCM strategy and creating a business continuity plan (BCP) when budgets are tight. The following books are already popular amongst business continuity professionals:
