Agile Business Continuity

Welcome to the ABC Blog

Posted by: pdjamez In: Blog

Welcome to the Agile Continuity blog. In my current role I have spent the last 18 months talking with a huge range of Business Continuity experts and practitioners. It has been a real pleasure talking with these individuals who have been good enough to share their own perspectives with me. These discussions have uncovered some common issues that many business continuity professionals face in delivering business continuity within their own organisations. The main purpose of this site is to capture these issues and share the ways in which practitioners are overcoming them.

One of the most interesting outcomes of this discovery process has been the formulation of a common approach to delivering business continuity. This common approach is called Agile Continuity. It is Agile in the sense that is pragmatic, and responds to real world issues and real world needs. For the avoidance of doubt this should not be considered a formal process; for that you need to refer to standards such as BS 25999. Agile Continuity is about how you can deliver real world resilience to your organisation and avoid the pitfalls that so many organisations have fallen in to thus far.

Glad to hear it Paul, the blogsphere was been the worse for your absence.

You may be particularly interested in the benchmarking resilience post about the Benchmarking Tool from ResOrgs and the the post on the Resilience Workshop which featured another assessment tool.
