Dynamic Business Continuity Planning (BCP) According to BS 25999-1 British Standards Institution’s Code of Practice for Business Continuity Management, “BCP is an holistic management process that identifies potential threats to an organisation and the impacts to business operations that those threats, if realised, might cause, and which provides a framework for building organisational resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities.”
It identifies your exposure to internal and external threats, and puts in place the means with which to provide effective prevention and recovery for your business, whilst improving your competitive advantage and system integrity.
In other words: “The advance planning and preparations which are necessary to; identify the impact of potential losses; to formulate and implement viable recovery strategies; to develop recovery plan(s) which ensure continuity of organisational services in the event of an emergency or disaster”.
In almost every case, the businesses that survive and subsequently go on to prosper have been those who took the time and made the critical investment to seek professional advice and plan in advance. A business without a Business Continuity Plan has a very low chance of survival and may leave Partners, Directors and Business Owners personally liable.
