Um þessa rafbók
Business continuity management is a critical aspect that investors and company directors evaluate in terms of an organizations’ sustainability and future value propositions in the face of supply chain disruptions, threats of economic recession, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This guide demonstrates a simple and systematic way to ensure that businesses are prepared for any crisis or emergency, including steps to meet the specific requirements prescribed in the international Business Continuity Standard ISO 22301, with a particular focus on the oil and gas sector. The seasoned author team brings their experience to bear on critical issues such as:
- Where managers lose focus on the need for business continuity – and how to regain it
- How to select and implement a business continuity management tool
- How to plan for the "macro scenario" that combines supply chain management, risk management, business continuity, and crisis management
- How to best utilize "peace time" to explore business continuity plans and strategies
- Why organizations should invest in business continuity even when the “going is tough in revenue and sales”
This guide to understanding the role of business continuity and management as an organizational strategy will earn its place on the desks of senior leaders, health and safety directors, consultants, corporate trainers, and business continuity and risk management professionals.
