  1. 5 STEPS TO BUILD AN EFFECTIVE BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN

  2. BUILD A BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT TEAM The business continuity management team helps in building a business continuity plan by identifying potential risks, assessing their impact on the organisation, and developing strategies to minimise those impacts.

  3. FOCUS ON THE SECURITY OF YOUR EMPLOYEES Prioritise security and address employees' concerns in a crisis. Reallocate resources, reorganise teams and establish welfare programs to create a secure work environment. Establish communication channels to reach all employees.

  4. IDENTIFY RISKS TO YOUR ORGANISATION Carry out a business impact analysis to determine risks that may impact financial performance, operations, supply chains, business reputation, and employees. Work with your team to identify threats and risks and consider the potential impacts on business operations.

  5. INCLUDE RECOVERY STRATEGIES When developing a BCP, it is important to consider how different teams (sales, HR, manufacturing, support, etc.) would resume work after a disaster, where employees would work if facilities were affected, and how to meet demand if equipment or the office is damaged. Setting realistic timelines is also important to ensure that continuity objectives are met.

  6. TEST AND TWEAK YOUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN (BCP) Regularly test your business continuity plan to validate it as you manage risks. Testing aims not to necessarily pass or fail but to continuously improve your BCP by identifying findings through an ongoing exercise. By testing your recovery strategies, you can also identify gaps.
