For simplicity the deployment that has worked best for me, is to attempt to closely mirror the business organization structure to those that naturally have...

Go to IBM GS' Web site . . . they "invented" IT resiliency. To me, it's just another buzz word for IT DR. I'm confident IBM would **not** concur with my...

1. Do you have a Business Continuity plan. 1a. Show me. 2. When was the last time the plan was updated. 2a. What caused the update? 2b. What causes updates? 3....
Chris, I must respectfully disagree, at least to some extent. ICS is a paper-intensive, US Government-developed overly bureaucratic process, in my view. There...
I'm surprised that your Security and Facilities people are not using ICS. Along side of local and municipal authorities [who are using ICS] this would seem to...
Interesting question this one. From what I have seen there are plenty of courses and companies that will take you to the level where you plan and manage BC....
Not a whole lot of difference between that and the DR/BCP questions you would ask if your company was acquiring another.... I will look in my archives and see...
Run a fcailitation meeting with your Business Teams. Get them to tell you what they use. It is often much more than the 'core' systems. In my experience it is...
Does anyone have any "awareness tips" that I can send to my planners. Most of them are fairly new to the planning process and I would like to send them monthly...

Exactly Bruce. Use ICS and NIMS and their equivalents from many sources as guidelines, not wisdom in immutable stone tablets. I am particularly oriented toward...
Can anyone share off list a sanitized version of their recovery procedures for Windows server, Sun platform, and Oracle (all using Netbackup). I realize that...
Hello Tony This is a good question, except that the question is very generic and very vague. When you talk about the next level, you should be clear about what...
Tony, Mohammed's answer is 100% correct. Our Business Continuity courses look at Business Continuity from three perspectives. The first is that Business...
A) I need to structure process flow for using different IT groups (Networks, Application, Hardware, Security etc.) with IT continuity department. This process...
Com'on now Jim.... we have all been taught that Business Continuity in any form is not a project, but rather a process..... a project has a beginning and an...
BCP is (and should be) an onging process - once started -. But to get it started, there should be a project to kick this process off. and BCP requires a master...
Gene, Come on now! That tired old excuse of a dog never did hunt! The only way you can have a viable Business Continuity plan is to treat it exactly like what...

Jim/Gene. You'll be happy to know that you're both right. When creating a BCP or DRP for the first time it is a project. The result of the project must be a...
... I'm not sure I would agree. Even without the dog. The minute you say that BCP is a project, everyone expects an ending date that allows them to stop ...
I tend to agree with Gene. A project has definite start and end times. Business Continuity Management has not. We need to differentiate between the Business...
If an organization starts with "nothing" (or next to nothing), then a project to get BIA's and BC Plans created must begin. The initial BC planning (as a...
I disagree, BCP is core to the enterprise architecture of the organization. When the enterprise is heavily dependent on information technology the only role...
I don't wish to discourage debate or offend anyone but is discussing whether Business Continuity is a project or not fairly low down the priority order...
Hurrah ! I'm not the only one wondering why issues like project vs process get lots of debate but more serious issues don't seem to generate the same levels of...
