All organizations face risks. Exposure to risks can lead to a drop in productivity, decreased cost effectiveness, reduced quality, damaged reputations, and lost earning potential. Your Risk Management effort should focus on identifying vulnerabilities and prioritizing mitigation efforts based on both perceived consequences and cost-benefit analyses.

Residual risks - what remains after mitigation efforts - are the focus of Business Continuity Management (BCM). The traditional BCM lifecycle (Risk Assessment, BIA, Planning, Testing and Maintenance) often yields a plan centric approach to BCM.

Plan-centric BCM, using scenarios or other narrow-focused formats, may satisfy audit and compliance requirements, but rarely produces actionable plans that are viable during a real disruption.

A Resiliency-centric approach focuses on understanding business objectives: what the organizations must achieve through its Resiliency program. In simple terms, a Resiliency-centric program should protect the organization's assets and ensure continuity of operations. Key words: Assets and Operations. Plan-centric BCM - focused on satisfying auditors – usually fails to address critical Operations and Assets.

Operations (business functions/processes) are dependent upon critical assets including people, facilities, technology, supply chains and other operations. Understanding these assets and their interdependencies allows planners to visualize inherent risks, single-points-of-failure, current capabilities, plus mitigation and recovery strategies. That knowledge can be used to create a resiliency-centric program. This approach creates a truly viable & sustainable program in which participants can relate their BCM efforts to their everyday, operational functions.

In this "Building a Resiliency Program" webinar, eBRP's experts will discuss how a Resiliency-centric approach can help you create a truly viable and sustainable BCM program for your organization.
