ABSTRACT
Business continuity planning (BCP) has received more attention and emphasis in the past year than it has
probably had cumulatively during the past several decades. This is an opportune time for organizations
to leverage this attention into adequate resourcing, proper preparation, and workable business continuity
plans. Business continuity planning is not glamorous, not usually considered to be fun, and often a
little mundane. It can have all the appeal of planning how to get home from the airport at the end of an
all-too-short vacation.
