The 4As met on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, to discuss the following topic: Your Business Continuity Plan: COVID-19 Shattered It. What You Must Do Now for Your Next Business Interruption. The virus forced agencies to re-engineer their Business Continuity Plans on the fly. Now is the time to reassess your Business Continuity Plans to incorporate all changes to date and modernize them to address all future business interruptions, not just pandemics.
Wednesday’s webinar discussed the steps you must take now to be ready for your next business interruption including the following questions:
- Have you conducted a comprehensive threat assessment to your business in the last 12 months? If so, did it include business interruptions like cybersecurity and all other types of emergencies?
- Do you know the differences between Business Continuity, Emergency Action, Disaster Recovery, and Pandemic Plans?
- Relating to these, are you aware of your core management responsibility under the law and your legal exposure to your planning for these situations?
- Do you know which of these plans require employee training? And if so, are you legally compliant today?
- Do you know what Command, Control, and Communications are?
- What is your duty of care with respect to your Board of Directors? Employees? Clients? Prospects?
- Are you aware of what should be included in a Crisis Communications Plan (CCP)? Do you have one in place?
- Have you considered the costs and effects of failure to comply with prudent planning in these areas?
