Building a Continuity Culture-A Survey of Canadian Decision Makers on Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning assumes a worst-case scenario, in which an external event renders the primary business location totally inaccessible or otherwise unusable for an extended period of time. In today’s environment, business continuity planning is increasingly seen as a strategic business investment whose benefits far outweigh its costs. The effects of a long-term interruption of critical business functions may be devastating to the business. The development of a business continuity plan must, therefore, involve not only the providers of the organization’s information technology services, but also the business areas using those services, and senior management responsible for the life and health of the organization.

A key challenge is to keep management focused on the importance of sustained attention to consideration of business continuity in planning, operational and budgeting activities.
