It’s the 23rd of March and your business continuity champions need to deliver their plans to you by the 1st of April. Your phoning round and sending out kick ass emails, but what’s really happening out in the organisation? The answer, you would want to hear, is that your champion community frantically updating their plans.
It’s now the 2nd of April and your plans have been delivered through a single mammoth exercise and are ready to be consolidated and then approved. Even if we assume that the frantic efforts of your champion community has delivered a high quality output, there is one question that remains. How long will my plans be current?
It can be argued that the annual review process is adequate for fulfilling the needs of the standard. What is clear is that the plans that are produced will quickly become dated if they are not refreshed at the same rate as that of any organisational change. Business Continuity co-ordinators need to be clear on the level of quality the organisation is willing to accept and to fine-tune this review cycle to match.
