Checklist for Business Continuity Management
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) CMI has produced a Checklist for BCM as part of its range of Management Checklists on key management issues.
These popular resources provide clear definitions and a straightforward guide to practical activities, making the BCM Checklist a valuable starting point for any managers wanting to find out more about BCM.
“Incidences such as terrorist attacks and natural disasters have put the spotlight on the vulnerability of businesses to disruption. Research published by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) in 2010 identified extreme weather as being the most common disruption to businesses. The CMI’s research also found that the number of organisations with specific business continuity plans covering operations has fallen slightly from their findings in 2009. However, conversely it was revealed that those managers who had established and activated their business continuity management plans were in agreement that it does effectively reduce the impact of the disruption.
“The establishment of an effective business continuity plan cannot guarantee freedom from the effects of failure. What it can do is provide a considered and planned method of dealing with failure in the most effective way to meet the organisation’s defined priorities. Effective continuity management offers a demonstrable benefit to the business continuity of any organisation.”
