When people think of Business Continuity they usually think of IT – what happens if the power goes off, what happens if the emails go down, what happens if the system gets a virus and whilst we can feel completely lost during those times a business is not just about its IT. Business Continuity plans should incorporate all aspects of the logistics and operations of your business – what if your building gets flooded, the boiler packs up, a key member of staff is on long term sickness or coming up to retirement, what if you stock does not get delivered on time? Small spanners can cause big problems and sometimes you don’t know a spanner is a spanner until its in the works.
Good planning, good foundational documents and insurance can assist in providing business continuity when things go wrong minimising the negative effects on your business. Come along and find out how you can help plan for those unexpected circumstances.
