Good morning,

Could anyone please advise a 'cheap as chips' business continuity course; this has just fallen under my remit and although I understand the concept and what needs to be achieved, I am stumped on how to actually go about creating a plan that will work, or has a good chance of succeeding. I've done a lot of research but the more I learn, the more I realise just how much needs to be done. I don't want to stumble through this making tons of silly decisions along the way, but be able to clearly decide what needs to be done and to lay the ground work to a sound plan.

Many thanks in advance.

June,

This may be of help.
I too am looking at some courses to help fulfill the BCP role bestowed upon me too!

Thanks for that, I saw that course, but its so far away! I wish I had known about this sooner; I could have taken the course in March.

I will send you am email, and perhaps we can help each other if that's okay.

Regards, Junebug

If you will give your email address I will forward some presentation on the topic...

Useful for you should be British Standard - BS 2599 -2 which is Business Continuity Management

Hi,

Have a look at www.thebci.org
There's plenty of good background information and good practice guidelines to get you started.
Insurers like to see a very detailed plan to improve the perceived Business Interruption risk and, thus, help reduce your premium.
It might, therefore, be more cost effective for you to employ a consultant to do the donkey work!
If your broker's any good, they should have in-house consultants that can do this for you.
