Business Continuity Benchmarking Survey 2009

The practice and principles of business continuity management continue to evolve and encompass new ideas, standards, technologies and economic circumstances.

To help identify and reflect on these changes, Continuity Forum has conducted a biennial business continuity benchmarking survey for the Australia/New Zealand region. This took place in 2005 and 2007. Now in 2009 it is conducting the survey again, but this time it will be conducted in collaboration with the Australasian Chapter of the Business Continuity Institute.

The survey presents 30 questions about each respondent's organization and how it approaches business continuity management. Each question presents multi-choice options and there is also a free text field to record anything else relevant to the answer.

The questions are built around the 6 stages in the BCI Good Practice guidelines, which are:
1. BCM Policy & Programme Management
2. Understanding the Organization
3. Determining BCM Strategy
4. Developing and Implementing BCM Response
5. Exercising, Maintaining & Reviewing BCM arrangements
6. Embedding BCM in the Organization’s Culture.

The survey will provide benchmarking information for the Australia and New Zealand business continuity profession.

This survey is open to all government departments, commercial and not-for-profit businesses with an interest in business continuity.

All survey responses need to be completed by 31 May 2009 and the survey report will be presented at the Business Continuity Expo, to be held in Sydney on 29 September 2009.

Take part.
