Follow on Google News | Steelhenge Holds Business Continuity Seminar In London, Reviewing Business Continuity Best PracticeSteelhenge held its annual two day business continuity seminar in London reviewing developments in business continuity over the last year and, in particular, looking at best practice in business continuity exercising and the use of the BIA
By: Isobel Nicholas Isobel Nicholas, Communications Manager for Steelhenge, said "The annual seminar is always an opportunity to take a step back from the coalface, share experiences and examine whether current business continuity advice and procedures are the absolute best they can be. It ensures we remain open-minded, innovative and learn from our wealth of experience. Steelhenge aims to maintain its reputation as one of the industry leaders in business continuity best practice, and we take a pride in devoting the time and effort necessary to achieve this." "An ideal example of how important it is to regularly review business continuity consultancy practice was the discussion about the use of the Business Impact Analysis," Isobel said. "This is a widely used approach in business continuity management, designed to evaluate the most time-critical operations of a business and forms a cornerstone in the development of the business continuity management plan. However, too often companies get too immersed during this phase of a project; and we have rescued several who have become entangled in the process. The seminar enabled everyone to take a step back and look at this issue," Isobel explained. "The BIA often needs a pragmatic approach based on what is realistically achievable and appropriate for the business in terms of size and appetite, otherwise there is a danger that it will dominate the entire process, without any ultimate progress or useful results at the end of it." # # # About Steelhenge Steelhenge Consulting provides end to end business continuity, crisis management and emergency planning services to a broad range of clients internationally, in both the public and private sectors.
