		<description><![CDATA[“Putting your money where your mouth is” is as true of business continuity planning as of anything else. Government agencies often set an example in this respect, making their BC plans readily available and free of charge. That doesn’t mean that there’s no need for constructive criticism. Some of the plans are well thought-out and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metrics are what you use to measure things. It sounds obvious. What’s not so obvious is why figure-driven metrics seem so often to be channelled off towards disaster recovery and IT in particular, whereas other high-level metrics end up with business continuity. Sure, there are the historical IT roots of disaster recovery to be considered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Disaster recovery plans are like car insurance. It’s not because you’ve insured your car that you’re obliged to have an accident; similarly, it’s not because you have a great disaster recovery plan, that you’re obliged to have a disaster. Although reactive disaster recovery will always be a counterpart to proactive business continuity, better driving will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Making the business case for business continuity is an area that companies struggle with. Whereas fires and explosions can have people’s imaginations working feverishly, when a little time goes by and they don’t happen, they get relegated to a “to do” list that might get done by the IT department, but not by others.

		<description><![CDATA[Business continuity test scenarios are an integral part of good Business Continuity planning, on two conditions: they test for the right things; and that they are realistic in how they test.
