Continuity Planning

Although disasters in recent history have elevated the awareness of business continuity (BC) risks and their impact on corporate finances and operations, there are still companies that have failed to heed the warning signs and are underprepared for a disaster or a business disruption. Manmade and natural disruptions to businesses may be unpredictable, but the impact can be managed if an effective program for BC management is part of the overall corporate governance framework.  Isn’t this a model for life?
