HB 293-2006

Over the last few years BCM has become an important element of good corporate governance and will be critical to organizational sustainability in an increasingly turbulent environment. BCM is an integral part of an organisation’s overall approach to effective risk management, and should be closely aligned to an organisation’s efforts in emergency management. The executive guide to business continuity management (BCM) provides senior management with an overview of the key concepts and processes that are required to implement and maintain an integrated, robust business continuity management program. This document was prepared as a summary and a navigational tool for HB 292, A practitioners guide to business continuity management, and the structure is based on the framework of HB 221 Business continuity management. Readers requiring detailed or in-depth information should consult HB 292.
