Business Continuity Management - 42 Consulting

Our experience has shown that many organisations who implement BCM only really address the issues of developing paper checklists.  We believe that organisations should implement a working business continuity capability that is embedded in the culture of the organisation.  To this end, the implementation aspects of BCM go further than developing paper checklists, and extend to project managing an effective programme of work that will implement the necessary capability to support the organisation in the event of an incident and/or other business disruption.  Our BCM implementation framework is summarised below:
