Successful business continuity plans are ones that have the full support of key stakeholders – for example, managing directors and senior leadership teams. This ensures that plans will be followed through both in principle and financially.
Remember that a business continuity plan is your roadmap through major disruption so they should be clear and simple to follow. After all, the last thing you need is a complicated agenda that only makes the situation more stressful. With that in mind, they should also be regularly checked and updated as your business grows or its needs change.
