: : I would like to share thoughts on how best to gain commitment from Business Mangers to essential ongoing BCM activities, and also how to cater for very different attitudes to BCM.....e.g. where some Mangers have no interest whatsoever in BCM?

: I prepared a PowerPoint presentation lasting about 15 minutes and approached from a BC PLANNING point of view - what (it is), why (we must do it) how (we will do it), when and where (our own facility).
: One of the slides listed several recent, familiar newspaper headlines from our own and and other states like "City brought to standstill" and Powerless retailers lose $10m a week". Stories they already had some knowledge of but had not previously thought 'could happen to us'.
: They certainly identified with my statement "SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG SOMEDAY - IT'S JUST A MATTER DEGREE. Planning can keep an emergency from developing into a disaster, a disaster from becoming a catastrophe".
