This week I mark the six elements of the business continuity lifecycle out of 10, based on their effectiveness during the COVID-10 outbreak. I always say that when rolling out business continuity there will usually be a new risk which we discover. For implementation, I give business continuity 9 out of 10.

Rereading this blog from a year ago, I chuckled (and shuddered) at our collective naïveté. It’s human nature not to, but as Business Continuity professionals we must keep looking forward to anticipate new risks even when it seems that “been there, done that” is the collective mood during these Uncertain Times.

I felt the first bulletin of this year should look forward to what I see are the issues for business continuity professionals over the next year. Cyber attacks will continue unabated but perhaps aimed at less well-known organisations. So, what do we have to look forward to (or not)? Weather extremes. Global recession.

The same thing is true of organizations and business continuity professionals. Right now, the pace of change in the broader society is as fast as I’ve ever seen it, and that looks to continue for the foreseeable future. Over time, organisms that are capable of adapting to change thrive while those that don’t go extinct.

Business continuity professionals who want to make their organizations more resilient should make a conscious effort to become gap hunters. I agree—and in today’s blog I’m going to build on Michael’s post by laying out some of the common vulnerabilities I often see in working with clients of ours.

If you’re still using spreadsheets or word processing documents printed and stored in stacks of binders to manage your business continuity program and related plans, then you may be setting your program up for unforeseen obstacles that could negatively affect your program success.

Is my plan enough? As Business Continuity professionals, we see a lot of plans. We develop plans for our clients, we help mentor clients on how to build their plans themselves, we review existing plans for gaps, and we audit plans. At what point is your plan too rigid?
