ABSTRACT

In Chapter 1, the necessity for organizations to absorb business continuity management into underpinning practices was asserted. Without such management, organizations are not only exposed to a wide range of interruptions, they also face problems with their compliance with a burgeoning variety of regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations (Chapter 2). In the previous chapter, we examined the necessary steps to initiate the process of continuity management. In this chapter we focus on planning for business continuity.
