04/21/2010 - Getting Management Buy-In
When management hears about the resource cost (money, people, time) of a business continuity plan, many executives and senior managers can’t see the value of something that might only sit on a shelf and gather dust. The key to getting their buy in is to sell them on WHY a plan is critical and what the benefits of having a plan are – even if there is no disaster on the horizon. Take some cues from this issue and back up your case with solid reasons before you walk in to convince the boss contingency plans can benefit the company in many ways.
04/14/2010 - Social Media Meets Business Continuity
There’s probably little doubt that employees everywhere are using social media at home and at work. What are they saying? Could it damage your business? If you’re feeling on shaky ground with regard to how to control the situation, this week’s articles could be of assistance, covering everything from the dangers of social media to developing a social media policy.
04/07/2010 - Facility Management
Dealing with issues like physical security, safety and infrastructure protection can be overwhelming, especially for facility owners and managers – or even for tenants. Gain more insight into carrying out your responsibilities more efficiently and effectively.
03/31/2010 - Crisis Communications
Communicating in a crisis is a challenge – what to say, how much, and keeping all parties in touch with each other so that you come out of the crisis intact. Examine the aspects of crisis communications that will help you improve your communication plans.
03/24/2010 - Reputation Management
Managing your organization’s reputation is one of the most critical activities today and it’s also labor intensive. You have to build the reputation, manage it, and, if anything bad happens, hope your hard work can recover it.
03/17/2010 - Testing and Exercising
If you haven’t tested your business continuity plan, you might as well not have one. Creating the plan and putting on a shelf or a computer doesn’t finish the job. You have to know the plan will work when disaster strikes. Your plan may be a year old… has it been updated to reflect any changes in technology and/or personnel? If not, you could find yourself with a plan that will fail.
03/10/2010 - Risk Management
Risk applies to any management decision that could have a negative result. Even with a negative result, the outcome could have been mitigated with good risk management. You need to evaluate – as much as possible -- all the possible results of any decision and determine how risk can be reduced.
03/03/2010 - Shelter-in-Place
Just a couple of weeks ago, a chemical leak in Pasadena, Texas, forced a Shelter-in-Place (SIP) situation in the surrounding area. This particular SIP order lasted only about four hours, but it could have been worse. At the same time, a gas leak in a San Jose neighborhood also prompted an SIP situation. As you can see, you seldom have any warning of a disruption that can cause you to be ordered to shelter in place. It makes sense, therefore, to be prepared.
02/24/2010 - Workplace Violence
Homicide is now the third highest work-related cause of death in the United States. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, in a study of homicides at work from 1980 to 1988, found that homicide accounted for 12% of job-related deaths. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that homicide was the leading cause of death for women at work, accounting for 42% of on-the-job fatalities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after motor vehicle incidents, homicide is the leading cause of death in the workplace. The Justice Department reported in 1994 that one-sixth of all violent crimes in the United States occur in the workplace. The statistics tell the story… here’s some information that can help you better prepare for and avoid violence at your place of work.
02/17/2010 - Business Continuity Planning
A business continuity plan won’t protect an organization against all reasons for failure, but it can prepare and protect you against a great many such reasons. Insurance doesn’t protect against everything, either, and you may never have to make a claim. Would you consider running your business without insurance? Probably not. Nor should you fail to have a business continuity plan at the ready – just in case. This issue will help you rethink your business continuity strategies.
