  40. Deferring investment in business continuity planning (BCP) may make the cost more palatable BCP is viewed as a delay if considered at all during the project planning stage Rarely is a multi-component outage or a full system or site outage addressed during the project stage Resiliency planning is often done after a system has been designed or implemented Yesterday’s Thinking

  41. The problem with BCP and DR is that the value proposition has almost always been framed in terms of “Risk Reduction” The true Value Proposition must be seen in improved efficiencies and competitive advantages. Driving Risk out of the infrastructure and imbedding effective policies for resiliency and efficiency should be at the core of the Business Continuity Program. the new value proposition
