Business continuity professionals who want to make their organizations more resilient should make a conscious effort to become gap hunters. Sorting out such problems can take hours if not days, an expensive proposition if the issue is prolonging an outage. This can be crippling during an outage. Unrealistic tests.

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. Power outages. So, what do we have to look forward to (or not)?

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.

As Business Continuity professionals, we see a lot of plans. You should be able to use the same BCP to respond to a fire, a train derailment, a power outage, or an active threat. Is my plan enough? One consistent concern across all plans, regardless of their size: is it a flexible BCP?

In today’s post we’ll look at why organizations still need to be adept at IT disaster recovery (IT/DR) and describe the four phases of restoring IT services after an outage. Phase 1: Preparation Technically, preparation is not a phase of disaster recovery since it happens before the outage. Estimate how long the outage will last.

Reducing risk is at the heart of everything we do as business continuity professionals. Residual Risk There are two main kinds of risk when it comes to organizational activities and business continuity: inherent risk and residual risk. Inherent risk is the danger intrinsic to any business activity or operation.

I think our role as business continuity professionals is to keep our eye on contemporary incidents and take the time to seek out the lessons.

In one respect, COVID continues to distort people’s approach to risk. Today many business continuity professionals are worrying disproportionately about the possibility of another pandemic, to the exclusion of other threats. Another pandemic could occur.

Try a Dose of Risk Management As a business continuity professional, I tip my hat to any organization that makes a serious effort to reduce its risks. Successful risk mitigation requires that a central authority supervise controls following a coherent strategy. Related on MHA Consulting: Global Turmoil Making You Ill?
