Business Continuity Scope & Priorities

This is template guides you through the development the initial stage of business continuity plan development which develops the scope of the plan and your organisation's operational priorities. Some call it a Business Impact Assessment (or "BIA"), others may refer to it as a risk assessment. This template section helps you to identify the most important activities that need to be up and running running to ensure staff safety, maintain customer goodwill and assure the survival of your organisation.

It's also the first thing any auditor or third party will look for when evaluating your organisations business continuity plan

Core Recovery Capabilities

Your basic ability to meet your business continuity priorities will be determined by capabilities such as IT recovery, workplace flexibility and availability of specialised equipment. This section of the business continuity plan template helps you capture information relating to the recovery ability of your IT systems and alternative workplace options - ensuring that these align with your business continuity needs.

This is a fundamental part of a business continuity and demonstrates that you have the intrinsic capability to meet the operational priorities you defined in your BIA

Process Recovery Plans

Business Continuity Planning is more than having IT recovery and alternate workplace solutions in place. In the event of a major disruption different parts of the organisation will have specific roles to play - this section of the business continuity plan template provides a format for creating specific action plans for ech part of your organisation that has a role to play during and after recovery. The format we have created for this makes it easy for the "owner" of these plans to maintain them and also creates a concise refence for use in a real-life incident.

This feature of our template significantly improves ease of maintenance.

Communications Framework

The success or failure of incident management rests on effective communications. This section of the business continuity template helps you develop a communications framework to identify who you will need to communicate with (both internally & externally), how you intend to communicate with them and who is responsible for managing the dialogue.

The overall effectiveness communications during an incident can make or break your reputation.

Incident Management Plan

The Incident Management Plan template helps senior management to coordinate the overall response of the organisation during the initial stages of a major incident. This helps you to develop a clear and usable framework for assessment, escalation and mobilisation of people and actions during the initial stages of a major incident.

Clear and effective action during the initial stages of an incident can have a major influence on the success of the organisations overall recovery

A Business Continuity Plan Template that works

We know our business continuity plan template works because we have helped many organisations to develop business continuity plans and management frameworks using them ourselves. We developed and refined it during the course of many business continuity plan development assignments. All our business continuity plan templates have been proven in the field. This is one reason what we don't have one, voluminous template. Our Business Continuity Plan Template recognises that there are several parts to a business continuity plan and that each part has different uses. For instance, in a major incident you'll need concise guidance on how to navigate a situation. On the other hand, you will need to show external parties the basis on which you developed the plan (the risks it addresses and your tolerances to disruption) - that's all part of the overall business continuity plan template,

Our business continuity plan template is designed to support the development of a complete framework for managing business continuity in your organisation. Our Business Continuity Plan template provides you with the tools you need to create a business continuity plan that is aligned to the needs of your business and gives your customers and other interested parties confidence in your ability to deal with and recover from a major incident. The business continuity plan templates shown below are the core business continuity plan templates that will enable you to develop your organisations business continuity plan. However, the full download of business continuity plan templates contains additional tools that will support the management of the overall business continuity plan development process, establish resources that meet external due diligence expectations and support the development of policies and management processes to ensure that your business continuity plan remains fit for purpose

Every business continuity plan template in the template pack is shown, described and demonstrated in the business continuity step-by-step video, our on-line training course that will show you everything you need to develop a business continuity plan for your organisation
