Frequently Asked Questions
Having a well-strategized crisis management plan may heavily benefit the future of your company. To do your planning well, you need to integrate the following components:
- Activation protocol.
- Detailing out the plan of actions.
- Structured communication strategies.
An effective crisis management plan has to include the following basics:
- Chain of command/administration.
- Risk assessment analysis.
- Response action plans.
- Internal and external communication/notification system.
- Resources made available externally or on the cloud.
- Training, exercising, and reviewing.
With the right integration of both human and automation, plus the scope of business continuity management tools like business impact analysis (BIA), risk assessment (RA), and MIS reporting, it has become possible to automatically map out the impact any disaster situation might have on your business. Hence, you can create an appropriate plan that keeps all the various processes up and running, also unifying all gaps which could potentially put your organization at risk. Most importantly, subject your business continuity plan to reviewing and modification until you have a decent plan at hand.
Here is a step-by-step list of measures to be taken to review your business continuity plan:
Step 1– Have a cursory walk-through with your staff about what the review is about so everybody knows what to expect.
Step 2– List down the new objectives beforehand to maintain transparency.
Step 3– During the plan review, check how resilient different areas of the organization are, how quickly you’ll be able to bounce back after a crisis.
Step 4– Focus on calculating the effectiveness of all the continuity plan phases.
Step 5– Assess your contact lists, communication channels, supply chain, essential personnel, equipment, data backup, and restoration.
Step 6– Evaluate the effectiveness of the main business continuity planning phases, like initial response, availability of staff & resources, and recovery & restoration.
The BIA or business impact analysis highlights the results of an interrupted operation or activity due to a certain event of disruption and information that will be required to build new plans for the recovery process to initiate.
Business impact analysis is a process that comes at the first stage in identifying the impact that organizational disruptions might have on business processes. Without the business impact analysis, the business continuity planning will not be able to identify or prioritize which processes and systems must be kept functional during times of crisis and provide the necessary instructions for their upkeep.
Planning business continuity involves ensuring that your business remains operational or has the ability to at least bounce back quickly after a disaster. Business continuity risk assessment is crucial before taking any other steps to develop organizational immunity. Hence here is how you do a risk assessment the right way-
- Identify the risks to your business, maybe create an ascending order of these risks, as per the potential for damage.
- Analyse the impact a disruption arising in a particular risk factor might have on your business.
- Check the probability of the risk occurring once and recurring in the future.
- Think of ways to mitigate or control the risk exposure.
- Prepare a risk treatment plan that best works for your requirement.
A Business Impact Analysis or BIA predicts the subsequent effects of a disruption of a business function or process and collects the necessary information required to develop recovery strategies. A successful business impact analysis generally includes these five elements:
- Executive sponsorship.
- Understanding of the organisation.
- Business impact analysis tools.
- Business impact analysis processes.
- BIA findings.
