Continuity Management - A Definition
Business Continuity Management is not about disaster recovery,
risk control, crisis management or IT systems recovery. It's not
simply a specialist solution that can be delivered on a plate, but
a business owned and driven process that unifies a wide array of
managerial and business disciplines.
In particular it provides the strategic and operational framework
to review the way an organisation provides its products and services
whilst increasing its resilience to disruption, interruption or
loss.
Business Continuity Management is recognised as good business
practice and is an integral part of a well balanced corporate governance
framework. Within this setting Continuity Management takes on a
strategic dimension and cannot be seen only in the narrow reactive
operational context.
