BCM – the way forward 1. Top level commitment 2. Initiate the Management Process 8. Test, Exercise and Maintain the Plan 7. Developing and Implementing the Plan 3. Identify the Threats and Risks 6. Develop Strategies 4. Manage the Risks as part of Risk Management 5. Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
Where BCM is going? • No longer just a fashion accessory, BCM is now an integral part of managing the business • Integrated across all business functions; no longer seen as an IT speciality • Now being accepted as a strategic business imperative • Progress towards independent auditable processes • BS25999-2 • Broader based agreement on what is best practice in the form of the a new standard, BS 25999-1
