Embedding business continuity management in the organization’s culture
Abstract: The concept of embedding business continuity in an organization’s culture is not new. Over the years it has developed through the various iterations of the BCI’s Good Practice Guidelines, was then taken up by PAS 56, and featured in the original Business Continuity Management Lifecycle diagram. With the onset of BS 25999, embedding business continuity into an organization’s culture has undergone a change in its positioning in the BCM Lifecycle, both within the Code of Practice in Part 1 and as a measurable component of the Specification in Part 2. But what does ‘embedding in the culture’ mean, what do you need to do, and how do you know you have achieved it? And, most importantly for certification purposes, how can you measure such a potential intangible? This paper seeks to explore the requirements of BS 25999, and discusses various ways to ‘embed BCM within your organization’s culture’. This paper provides an example of the depth of content in Continuity Central’s Business Continuity Journal. To subscribe visit http://www.businesscontinuityjournal.com
