In my bulletin on 20 May 2012 I wrote about the possibility of Grexit (Greece leaving the euro), luckily this never happened. As I have said in previous bulletins, it is our role as business continuity people to horizon scan and make sure that our organisations are prepared for possible future events.

In the UK fuel crisis of 2012, many of the issues were caused by panic buying. If we are in the business of identifying lessons then we should know that once an incident occurs there will be panic buying and it feeds upon itself, panic buying causes more panic buying until there is nothing left to buy.

BP are claiming that the compensation package is being abused, and that they may have to put aside more than the £5.2bn agreed in 2012. Whatever the merits of this case, the issue of compensation after an incident is very difficult. Last week I was teaching the BCI Good Practice Guidelines 5 day training course.
