Fast-track COOP & Business Resilience

Build a Continuity Plan to Stay Prepared, Operational, and Crisis-Proof in just 100 Days

Fast-Track COOP & Business Resilience is a practical, results-driven guide for leaders who need to protect their organizations from disruption—without spending years stuck in planning mode. In a world shaped by natural disasters, cyber threats, supply chain failures, and global crises, preparedness is no longer optional. The ability to remain operational during uncertainty is what separates organizations that survive from those that collapse.

This book delivers a clear, disciplined 100-day roadmap to building a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) and embedding business resilience into everyday operations. Instead of overwhelming readers with theory, it focuses on execution: what to do, when to do it, and how to do it under real-world constraints. Each phase is designed to move organizations from vulnerability to readiness in manageable, achievable steps.

Readers will learn how to identify essential functions, assess risks and impacts, establish leadership accountability, and design continuity strategies that actually work during crisis conditions. The guide goes beyond documentation, emphasizing training, testing, and decision-making under pressure so plans translate into action when disruptions occur. This is not a binder built for a shelf, it is a working program built for reality.

Unlike traditional continuity manuals, this book treats resilience as a leadership discipline. It shows how organizations can anticipate threats, adapt quickly, and recover stronger by protecting employees, customers, reputation, and revenue. Whether facing a localized emergency or a large-scale operational failure, the strategies in this book help leaders maintain control when it matters most.

Designed for government agencies, corporations, small and mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, and entrepreneurs, this guide meets organizations where they are, regardless of size or maturity. It recognizes that time, staffing, and resources are limited, and provides realistic solutions that can be implemented immediately. Practical tools, checklists, and templates eliminate guesswork and accelerate progress, resulting in a living continuity program that strengthens long-term resilience.

The guidance in this book is informed by the real-world experience of Dr. A.M. Benjamin, a business and operational continuity professional with over 12 years of experience establishing COOP programs within government environments. Deeply passionate about continuity planning, Dr. Benjamin views COOP as a critical component of organizational survival and, in many cases, national security. This book reflects that conviction. It provides leaders with the clarity, structure, and confidence needed to thrive in the face of uncertainty.

Fast-Track COOP & Business Resilience is for leaders who refuse to leave survival to chance, and who understand one truth: disruption is inevitable, but failure is not.
