Business Continuity Planning
We have all seen countless numbers of companies that have reams and reams of BCP that is so burdensome and filled with vague but accepted legal and industry terminology and jargon that no one ever reads it, implements it, or gets any real value from it. When a disruption occurs the BCP lies dusty in the BCP Director’s or incident manager’s office while the IT staff scrambles to get the systems operational. Most organizations will be a lot better off if they create a simple plain-English BCP that contains processes and procedures they can realistically implement and use, rather than tomes full of lofty terms and steps from which their under-staffed, over-utilized, and under-funded team will never truly benefit.
This PowerPoint is an overview of BCP that I have written and used at client sites, as well as technical conferences.
