Re: Business continuity isn't just tech orientated

I agree completely. Our approach uses a slightly different definition of Business Continuity to the one in the article. For us BC is the starting point and is done by the business. They determine how they will survive in the absence of the IT systems and what they will need to do merge the results of this back into the IT systems when they have been recovered. This focuses the business on how they will continue to operate while the tech is unavailable and consequently helps them identify the maximum acceptable RTO and RPO and balance this with how much they are willing to invest to meet them. I have led several desk-top exercises taking people through this process.
