Organisations urged to prepare for possible business disruptions during the London 2012 Games
/EINPresswire.com/ The London 2012 Olympic Games create great opportunities for businesses of all sectors and sizes across the whole of the UK. However, the Games also brings business continuity challenges, which, if not addressed on time, may have a negative impact on organisations wherever they are based in the UK. One of the biggest issues companies may face is public transport disruptions, traffic jams and road changes, reports the Greater London Authority website. This may cause delay or cancellations in deliveries and staff coming late to work. Power failure or problems with your internet provision are also possible. You should be assessing the related risks and the resulting losses for your business.
There is a solution to the above issues so that your business can continue operating as usual in the case of disruption. If you haven't started yet to plan for business disruptions, you have to do it now. In order to achieve this, you should be developing a business continuity management system (BCMS) aligned with the BS25999 Standard. BCM ensures that companies can continue trading, meet their supply chain demands and quickly return to 'business as usual' in the event of business disruption (natural disaster, power failure, traffic problems and other).

With the London 2012 Olympic Games approaching quickly, organisations don't have a lot of time to put a business continuity management system in place. This indicates that the implementation process needs to be quick and communicated well to all staff before the start of the big event. There are a few ways to accelerate the BCM process and prepare to respond to business disruptions
Due to the Games, IT Governance Ltd, the global leader in BS25999 books, tools, training and consultancy has seen an uptake in purchases of their BS25999 BCMS Implementation Toolkit: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2198.
The BS25999 BCMS Implementation Toolkit has been designed to enable organisations to quickly and effectively implement a business continuity management system (BCMS) in line with BS25999. It contains all the templates and tools to enable organisations to produce their own tailored versions of all these essential documents. This toolkit comes with an inbuilt 12-month support and upgrade contract, which ensures that buyers benefit from all improvements to the toolkit for 12 months.
Organisations who buy the toolkit before 31st March will receive the Olympics 2012 - Continuity & Security - Policy and Checklist free: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3776. This Olympics 2012 Business Continuity Checklist is a practical tool that helps business managers ensure that they have addressed all the potential disruptions and security threats that the London Olympics will cause. At the same time, the Olympics 2012 Policy Statement provides clear guidance for staff on key issues such as leave to watch the Olympics, absenteeism, travel and information security.
