      Not sure who the indented audience was for the book, however there is hardly any value add for anyone working in BCM. even the formatting of the book was not great with no space between multiple words.

    INTRODUCTION

    This pocket guide is intended to meet the needs of two groups:

    1 Individual readers who have turned to it as an introduction to a topic that they know little about.

    2 Organisations implementing, or considering implementing, a business continuity plan and management system.

    In either case, this guide furnishes readers with an understanding of the basics of business continuity, including:

    • A definition of what business continuity means.

    • How managing operational business continuity risk can be achieved using an approach increasingly recognised worldwide.

    • The important distinction between operational, commercial and strategic risks in business.

    • The role played by operational resilience measures, business continuity strategies and planning in managing operational risks.

    • How to demonstrate some form of return on investment in a business continuity management system (BCMS).

    • The role of business continuity in corporate governance and how to develop a mechanism that provides directors and stakeholders with appropriate assurance about the management and control of business continuity risks.

    Corporate bodies will find this pocket guide useful at a number of stages in any business continuity project, including:

    • At the decision-making stage; to ensure that those committing to a business continuity programme do so from a truly informed position.

    • At project initiation stage; as an introduction to business continuity for the board, project team members and those on the periphery of the project.

    • As part of an ongoing awareness campaign, being made available to all staff¹ and to new starters as part of their introduction to the company.

    Corporate users may find they get the most benefit from making this pocket guide available to staff and adding a small flyer inside it which explains how it relates to their own specific environment, or where they are addressed in their business continuity management system.

    The guide is designed to be read without having to frequently break from the text, but there is a short list of abbreviations, terms and definitions in Chapter 7. Also available from IT Governance is a glossary containing a comprehensive collection of relevant definitions.² The footnotes are not essential reading, and if you are new to the subject it is recommended you ignore them on your first read-through; they will be of more relevance on a second reading, particularly if you are involved in a business continuity project or in decision-making at any stage of a BCM project.

    On finishing your initial read-through it is suggested you keep a copy for easy reference.

    A word of warning: this is not an implementation or ‘how to do it’ guide.

    Implementing an
