Understanding Your Business: how to do a Business Impact Analysis

This new 20 minute original film, complemented by a data CD, takes the viewer through the essential elements of a BIA: what it is; how to get management “buy in” and how to conduct a BIA.

The training film - based in a hotel - takes the viewer on an information gathering journey through the eyes of Ed, the lead character. We see Ed conducting his BIA in this familiar setting, providing the viewer with a clear and usable analogy.

The CD that accompanies the film contains a comprehensive questionnaire with a set of templates and guidance notes together with expert industry advice.

This film and accompanying CD have been structured around the BCI Good Practice Guidelines and BS25999.

Practice Makes Perfect: exercising made easy – a comprehensive guide to exercising Business Continuity plans

First launched in early 2008, this 20 minute film explores the process of exercising a business continuity plan through the eyes of a BC practitioner. It’s clear, concise, and visually interesting and uses a theatrical analogy to demonstrate how performance is rehearsed – from simple desk top (deskcheck) exercising through to more complex scenarios. The film is engaging and achieves a robust mix of practical training and engaging drama.

The accompanying CD contains a 2,700 word booklet detailing a step-by-step guide to exercising with templates; a guide to creating exercise scenarios; role-play scripts and debriefnotes.
