Business Continuity Management Principles (Chapter 1)
The first chapter of the BCI E-Learning Programme provides an introduction to The Business Continuity Institute, examines the Business Continuity industry as a whole, and introduces the Good Practices Guidelines. Ethics, member conduct, the BCM Lifecycle, the Five Business Continuity Management principles, and why Business Continuity is critical are some of the topics discussed.
Understanding the Organisation (Chapter 2)
General principles, Business impact analysis, Estimating recovery requirements, Estimating threats (risk assessment). Although all areas of the business continuity plan are important, the steps in this section set the conditions for the entire effort and are critical.
Determining BCM Strategy (Chapter 3)
Determining BC Strategy looks at the general issues of ensuring the protection of the ability of the organisation to deliver a product or service within its Business Continuity programme. The following section’ Activity Continuity Options’ describes the tactics available for ensuring the continuity the activities that support the delivery of those products or services.
Developing and Implementing BCM Response (Chapter 4)
The aim of the various plan (s) covered in this stage is to identify, as far as possible, the actions that are necessary and the resources which are needed to enable the organisation to manage an interruption, whatever its cause.
Exercising, Maintaining & Reviewing BCM arrangements (Chapter 5)
A Business Continuity Management (BCM) capability cannot be considered reliable until it has been exercised. Since it is rarely possible to undertake an exercise for the whole organisation at one time, a planned exercise programme is required to ensure that all aspects of the plans and personnel have been exercised over a period of time. This chapter examines the various ways a BCM capability can be exercised.
Embedding BCM in the Organisation’s Culture (Chapter 6)
The successful establishment of a Business Continuity Management (BCM) within the organisation’s culture is dependent upon its integration with the organisation’s strategic, and day-to-day, management and alignment with its business priorities. This chapter examines those integration strategies.
