This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide Business Continuity Management System - Best Practices PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured assessment of Business Continuity Management (BCM) capabilities, categorizing them into 4 distinct maturity levels: Ad-Hoc, Developing, Maturing, and Optimized. Each category outlines specific characteristics and practices associated with that level, providing a clear roadmap for organizations to evaluate and enhance their BCM processes.
At the Ad-Hoc level, organizations lack a formal structure for BCM. There is no designated sponsor, and critical elements such as risk assessments and recovery time objectives (RTOs) are either undefined or undocumented. This stage indicates a reactive approach to business continuity, with minimal maintenance or testing.
As organizations progress to the Developing stage, they begin to establish foundational elements like a steering committee and risk assessments. However, documentation remains limited, and training procedures are not fully implemented. This stage reflects an initial effort to formalize BCM practices, but still lacks comprehensive execution.
The Maturing level signifies a more structured approach, where organizations have documented policies and standards. Business impacts and risks are quantified, and critical dependencies are identified. Regular testing and program reviews are conducted, indicating a proactive stance towards BCM. Employees are increasingly involved in drills, enhancing awareness and preparedness.
Finally, the Optimized stage represents an integrated culture of resilience within the organization. BCM is embedded in daily operations, with robust testing and regular reviews by top management. This level ensures that employees are competent in their BCM responsibilities, minimizing potential risks effectively.
The slide emphasizes that as BCM capabilities mature, the associated risks decrease, highlighting the importance of continuous improvement in business continuity practices.
This slide is part of the Business Continuity Management System - Best Practices PowerPoint presentation.
MBB/Big 4 style presentation that covers key BCMS-related best practices and offers general guidance based on the ISO 22301:2019 standard.
