It's not always the "big bang" scenario that causes the problem

Business Continuity Management

Introduction

The definition of a disaster for the purposes of the consultancy services offered by Pentire Solutions Ltd is:

“Any incident that causes a severe disruption to the organisation’s ability to function or to provide service to internal or external customers”

or, put another way :

“A severely disruptive incident that goes out of control at the least convenient moment”

We believe that it is the responsibility of all senior management to ensure that the business and functions for which they are responsible have the ability to continue and maintain service following a disaster.
