The book outlines some important lessons:
- The Importance of business continuity management
- Business continuity plans should be based on outcome scenarios and not causes
- The need for an organized development/implementation
- BCM is never complete - amendments and testing will always be required
There are a couple of points to note though:
- It fails to deliver the message clearly that Business Continuity Management is an umbrella for business impact analysis, risk management and business continuity planning. Too many people just concentrate on the latter.
- My experience shows that many advantages are gained through the development of the plan when the business continuity is firmly in the minds of those involved and the management sponsors (who have allocated resources and funds). This is as important as the plan itself.
- Unlike chapter 15 (Developing the written plan), Chapter 18 (Selecting tools to support the process) is an example of where the book sits on a fence. It describes the types of tools required but gives no clear examples of data used. There are numerous examples that could have been used to illustrate this; perhaps this leaves the door open for consultancy opportunities!
- Another downside to the book occurs as early as section one, which is described as an executive overview and is 75 pages long!
Notwithstanding these minor grumbles, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone involved in BCM or anyone thinking about creating a more secure business.
the book is clearly split into usefull sections making the book easy to navigate.
