VIDEO: YOUR NEW CORE SYSTEM JUST WENT LIVE. IS YOUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN KEEPING UP? CHRIS EXPLAINS

If you ask most consultants why business continuities fail, they’ll usually say the documentation wasn’t detailed enough or it wasn’t refreshed often enough, it wasn’t tested regularly, and there is certainly a level of truth to that, but our view is that it’s mainly because they are separate or remain separate from the business operations.

Real crises’ are noisy, stressful, dark and unpredictable. The plan cannot jus sit on the shelf, waiting for the emergency to happen. They need to be embedded into the processes and procedures and the muscle memory of the organization, so that people know not only what to do, but hwy they are doing it and where to find what they need when the pressure is on.
