Hot Take:

Who knew that planning for all the world’s disasters could be so complicated? Business Continuity Planning is like trying to prepare for a zombie apocalypse while simultaneously dodging meteorites and alien invasions. Spoiler alert: impacts matter more than the cause, so focus on bouncing back rather than counting how many zombies knocked on your door.

Key Points:

  • Plan for impacts, not every possible disaster scenario.
  • Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is key to understanding potential disruptions.
  • Scenarios help make planning tangible and can engage teams.
  • Impact-based planning offers flexibility and adaptability.
  • Balance scenario exercises with impact-based strategies for a robust plan.
