Publisher's summary

Few businesses can afford to shut down for an extended period of time, regardless of the cause. If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that disaster can strike in any shape, at any time. Be prepared with the time-tested strategies in Business Continuity Management: Building an Effective Incident Management Plan and protect your employees while ensuring your company survives the unimaginable.  

Written by Michael Blyth - one of the world's foremost consultants in the field of business contingency management - this audiobook provides cost-conscious executives with a structured, sustainable, and time-tested blueprint toward developing an individualized, strategic business-continuity program. This timely audiobook urges security managers, HR directors, program managers, and CEOs to manage nonfinancial crises to protect your company and its employees. 

Discussions include:  

  • Incident management versus crisis response  
  • Crisis-management structures  
  • Crisis flows and organizational responses  
  • Leveraging internal and external resources  
  • Effective crisis communications  
  • Clear decision-making authorities  
  • Trigger plans and alert states  
  • Training and resources  
  • Designing and structuring policies and plans  
  • Monitoring crisis-management programs  
  • Stages of disasters  
  • Emergency preparedness

  • Crisis leadership  
  • More than 40 different crisis scenarios  

Developing and utilizing a business continuity plan protects your company, its personnel, facilities, materials, and activities from the broad spectrum of risks that face businesses and government agencies on a daily basis, whether at home or internationally. Business Continuity Management presents concepts that can be applied in part, or full, to your business, regardless of its size or number of employees. The comprehensive spectrum of useful concepts, approaches, and systems, as well as specific management guidelines and report templates for more than 40 risk types, will enable you to develop and sustain a continuity management plan essential to compete, win, and safely operate within the complex and fluid global marketplace.

No accompanying PDF, Too abstract, Dead links

The book may make you sleep. Not providing clear step by step approach to BCP as per ISO 22301 -- Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA). The accompanying PDF is not available. The link on wiley.com/go/businesscontinuity works but you are asked to login, yet the author stated the password only. It is all time wasting and no value.

The book has good theoretical explanations about BCP terms and the general approach, but lacks on practical insights to start and implement a clear BCP agenda in an organisation.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
