ABSTRACT

Security and business continuity planning (BCP) are seen as insurance: maybe the people need to have them, but they want to pay as little as possible. Early on, somebody said that CoVID-19 made all the people business continuity pandemic planning redundant. They are all part of a real business continuity plan. Examination of the people capital risk, and the stability of their market, should always be part of a business continuity plan. Initially, and specifically, efficiency eliminates redundancy and therefore is at odds with BCP. It is possible that the failure of so many enterprises will force business management and economics to re-evaluate their devotion to efficiency and unrestrained capitalism as the only guiding principle for business. All kinds of training related to business continuity and disaster recovery are available and most of them are free. There are a couple of words that tend to trip up students of business continuity: recover and restore.
