ADVANCE REVIEWS
“There is no one writing about Business Continuity today who is better informed and clearer thinking than Andrew Hiles. In this 3rd edition he provides an up-to-the-minute review, including the latest thinking about Standards as well as valuable insights on how legislation and regulation might impact BCM practitioners. The chapters on Risk Evaluation and Emergency Response form an impressive body of knowledge about those areas that surpass many specialist publications on those topics.
“Andrew was instrumental in the formation of the Business Continuity Institute and is certainly one of our most celebrated members. In recent years his writings have given great leadership to our profession and even convinced many students to think of BCM as a valuable and credible long-term career option.”
- Lyndon Bird, FBCI, Technical Director, The Business Continuity Institute
“Andrew has done his usual, great job in updating his book to cover the new, revisionary thinking and new ideas taking place in the field. He includes checklists, action plans, road maps, self assessment and discussion questions, and details real-life examples to help readers better understand the problems and issues that can occur in developing, testing and maintaining a plan.”
- Melvyn Musson, FBCI, CBCP, Retired Senior Business Continuity Manager, Edward Jones
“Andrew Hiles’ updated version of his superlative earlier book puts BCP in an international context that allows readers to benefit from experiences and expertise from around the world. This is the whole package — soup to nuts — and even the most experienced practitioner will find it an indispensable addition to the references used in the BCP effort. In fact, it will reduce the number of such books needed.”
-Mayer Nudell, CSC, Adjunct Professor of Security Management, Webster University
