Preparedness - Basics of business continuity management
While no corporate management can guarantee that losses will be precluded, companies are at least expected to deal with loss events and the attendant aftermath in a satisfactory manner.
In addition to the traditional tasks of risk management, companies are increasingly being expected to prepare systematically to deal with loss events. This publication focuses on the basic principles of preparedness.
In practice, preparedness involves establishing a sound emergency and crisis management organisation, often known under the general heading of business continuity management. The brochure indicates the methods, organisational structures and human resources required to ensure that a company can define and attain an appropriate capacity to withstand emergencies and crises.
