Risk Management & Business Continuity Management
What is business continuity management (BCM)? The risk professional has to incorporate BCM to ensure the survivability of the company by putting plans in place that will minimize avoidable loss from negative events. BCM includes emergency response planning, business continuity planning, disaster recovery planning (regarding information technology) and crisis management planning. But, where and how does one begin a BCM plan? How are risk management and BCM interrelated? What BCM professional practices should be applied? What is the scope of a BCM plan? Is it applicable to any size company in any industry? We will focus on the implementation of a BCM plan as part of a company’s overall risk management program.
