Why Businesses Are Still Falling Short on Business Continuity Planning

DOVER, U.K. - March 13, 2025 - PRLog -- Many organisations remain unprepared for operational disruptions, leaving them vulnerable to unexpected crises. Recent industry insights highlight significant gaps in planning, with businesses struggling to implement structured frameworks that ensure resilience.

While awareness of crisis preparedness is increasing, many organisations still lack the necessary strategies to manage risks effectively. A lack of clear leadership often results in fragmented or incomplete continuity plans. Many businesses also fail to conduct regular risk assessments, leaving them unable to anticipate emerging threats or adapt their strategies accordingly. Others rely too heavily on reactive measures, assuming they can manage disruptions as they arise rather than establishing structured contingency plans in advance.

In addition, inadequate staff training leads to confusion and inefficiencies during a crisis, as employees may not fully understand their roles and responsibilities. Underinvestment in technology and infrastructure further compounds these issues, with many businesses lacking the necessary digital tools for remote operations, emergency communications, and crisis management.

Businesses in high-risk industries, including events, construction, and logistics, are particularly exposed to the consequences of inadequate planning. There has never been a greater need for comprehensive risk assessments, structured response plans, and ongoing training thank now
