Along with Dr David Lindstedt, PhD, Mark is the author of the “Adaptive Business Continuity Manifesto and Adaptive Business Continuity: A New Approach.” Mark is the author of numerous industry related articles published in the Journal of Business Continuity and Emergency Planning, Continuity Central and Linked-in. He calls himself an innovator in Business Continuity, and that certainly does come through in his articles, which are provocative and thought provoking.

Mark has been a member of the International benchmarking Advisory Board of BC Management since around 2017, and has devoted a lot of his time to the Association of Continuity Planners (ACP). Mark has spoken at multiple international conferences, such as Continuity Insights, Disaster Recovery Journal (Spring and Fall World) and the ACP National Leadership Conference. On March 18 2021, Mark will also be speaking and inviting questions at the global online conference by Continuity and Resilience (CORE). 

In this podcast, Mark says that Adaptive is a ground-breaking concept that has the potential to change the way Business Continuity is practiced globally. Adaptive enables a focus on measurement and effectiveness, and an emphasis on capabilities and results. He indicates the resources and guidance available to those who would like to understand Adaptive BCP, and explains how Adaptive supports the movement towards Organizational Resilience. Mark also gives us his thoughts of what makes the BCM professional enjoyable and exciting, and a great career for those who enjoy the challenge. Let’s hear what Mark has to say.
