How to write a business continuity plan

Business continuity has a PR problem. From the outside, it seems boring, difficult, and not a priority. According to our 2017 Data Health Check, less than half of organisations with small IT teams (1-5) have a BC plan.
The thing is, it’s never been easier.
Continuity today is a mature area of study. There are established best practices and proven processes that do most of the heavy lifting for you.

More than 5 years later, this content is still valuable. Thank you.

This is an excellent introduction to BCP and useful that you kept it to 30 minutes, thank you.

[@ariyacianci]

This was a useful and realistic introduction to the subject. Good job.

When drafting the mitigating strategy. how do we know which strategy works best and do we really need to go in-depth step-by-step with each crisis or take a more general approach?

Hi there. Thank you for this. What is the link to the podcast?

[@lutaayam]

This is a great presentation. I’ve been tasked with running a BCP/DRP and didn’t know where to start. This gives me a good framework. Are there more recordings from the webinar the presenter keeps referring to?

Hi Martin - here's a link to all the other recordings: th-cam.com/play/PLdP8tHvHqRMDq77SoGiM3BFdvhRXtLA-h.html

Excellent presentation of this material. One question I have is on the use of the terms "strategic, tactical and operational" From my 18 + year career in the military those terms in hierarchical order are: Strategic (senior level vision) Operational (mid level process identification)
Tactical (ground level execution of processes to meet the vision).
I am not an IT person so if this terminology is in a differnt order in the IT domain I would find it useful to know entering the BC and DR consulting domain.

Hi Tim - good question. The military ‘Levels of War’ model is, as you say: “Strategic, Operational, Tactical” whereas the “Strategic, Tactical, Operational” triangle is the model commonly used in IT and management. Its origins (we think) are from Robert N. Anthony and his work on Management Control Systems - sometimes referred to as Anthony’s Triangle.

In business, front line is always operational. Great you spotted this and highlighted the difference.

go to the point my friend

There are too many erm’s in this presentation. It’s rather distracting.

[@gospelvcr]

"its rather distracting" dont watch it then

[@sonandpets1215]

​@@gospelvcrWhat a lack of confidence. I believe this is constructive criticism so we can get better day in and day out.
And no, I also stop hearing the presenter just tried closed caption.
