Exploring the Interrelationship Between Risk Management and Business Continuity: An Interview With David Kaye
On October 18, 2008, Dr. Thomas Phelan and the Elmira College graduate class in Emergency-Disaster Preparedness Management conducted a telephone interview with David Kaye, FCII, FBCI, MIRM, FRSA, co-author (with Julia Graham) of “A Risk Management Approach to Business Continuity: Aligning Business Continuity With Corporate Governance.” Sadly, Mr. Kaye, who was well respected in his field, passed away some time after the interview.
At the time of the interview, Mr. Kaye was working on another book, in which he planned to bring together the functions of risk management, business continuity management, and a host of other areas of management which he felt were greatly interrelated. Risks, according to Kaye, don’t fall neatly into various departments, thus the need for bringing various departments together and integrating risk management and business continuity.
As the business world is rapidly changing, the field of business continuity is evolving as well. There are now so many factors affecting the resiliency of an organization, so many important things that an organization must depend upon, that Kaye expressed concern that many organizations would be out of date.
