When power, a system or a building is lost, what matters is that everyone knows what to do in the first hour. We build short, clear continuity plans and test them until they really work.
Each person will improvise when a crisis hits.
It was written before systems and sites changed.
Or you want ISO 22301 certification.
Which activities are critical and how much downtime they can bear.
Alternatives for people, sites, systems and suppliers.
A plan for each critical activity and a tabletop exercise.
Critical activities and acceptable recovery times.
Short, with checklists.
What worked and what needs changing.
With each department.
And weigh their cost and feasibility.
In a form a manager can read under pressure.
A simulation exercise, then corrections to the plans.
