Successful business continuity requires the creation of and adherence to a plan, which ensure an organization's critical functions are maintained or restored in the event of disruption (e.g. fires, natural disasters, etc.). Join me as I talk with recognized industry expert and author Stuart Hotchkiss and his book 'Business Continuity Management: In Practice. BCM can be made very over-complicated and Stuart provides a clear and simple approach to understanding what BCM is, and what it isn't. We'll touch on such subjects as the BCP, testing, audit, awareness, and the problems associated with the Business Impact Assessment (BIA) and the establishment of recovery time objectives. Some may consider this a controversial episode - I think it's one not to be missed!
