DESCRIPTION
This product (Business Continuity Planning - Guide, Process and Tools) is a 61-slide PowerPoint presentation (PPTX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.
The disruption COVID-19 caused has made businesses more aware of the importance of business continuity planning (BCP) for effective disruption-related preparation, response and recovery.
Although the term "business continuity" is often used as a synonym for IT Disaster recovery (DR), business continuity planning extends well beyond technology-related disruptions.
Businesses that do not effectively prepare for potential business disruptions are exposed to substantial loss of life, assets, revenues and reputation and may even fail to survive the disruption.
This document serves as a guide for business continuity planning (BCP) as part of holistic business continuity management (BCM) program.
