Recent world events such as the Covid Pandemic have challenged us to prepare to manage previously unthinkable situations that may threaten an organization’s future. This new challenge goes beyond the mere emergency response plan or disaster management activities that you might previously have employed. Your organisation must engage in a comprehensive process best described generically as Business Continuity. It is no longer enough to draft a response plan that anticipates naturally, accidentally, or intentionally caused disaster or emergency scenarios. Today’s threats require creating an ongoing, interactive process that ensures the continuation of an organization’s core activities before, during, and, most importantly, after a major crisis event.
