Contingency planning starts with situational awareness - a recognition of what's going on around you - in your work team, your employer, your profession, your industry, even your hometown. The key to realizing its benefits - avoiding unpleasant surprises and achieving desired goals - is constant reassessment. Inside this book, I will give you 8 tips on how you can avoid landmines, start your plan, and be authentic at the same time.

Book excerpt: Improve business efficiency, eliminate day-to-day mishaps, and prepare for the worst-with effective disaster contingency planning Working in lower Manhattan on September 11th, 2001, Donna Childs became keenly aware of the need for small businesses to develop disaster contingency plans and grateful that her own business had implemented such plans and would remain financially sound. Now, with the assistance of IT consultant Stefan Dietrich, she draws upon her unique experience to present proven guidelines for small and midsize businesses to effectively prepare for catastrophes in Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: A Small Business Guide. Childs and Dietrich take small business owners through every stage of disaster planning, from preparation to response to recovery. Specific issues addressed include: * What to do if the main office location is not accessible * Getting the business up and running again * Contacting third parties * Handling insurance claims * Adequate insurance for property, business interruption losses, and workers' compensation * Rebuilding an IT infrastructure Successful planning not only can limit the damage of an unforeseen disaster but also can minimize daily mishaps-such as the mistaken deletion of files-and increase a business's overall efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost-efficient business contingency and continuity planning for a post-9/11 and Katrina world Disasters can happen. Contingency plans are necessary. But how detailed and expensive do your contingency and continuity plans really need to be? Employing a thoroughly practical approach, Business Continuity Strategies: Protecting Against Unplanned Disasters, Third Edition provides a proven methodology for implementing a realistic and cost-efficient business contingency program. Kenneth Myers--an internationally recognized contingency planning specialist--shows corporate leaders how to prepare a logical "what if" plan that would enable an organization to retain market share, service customers, and maintain cash flow if a disaster occurs. Completely updated throughout to reflect lessons learned from 9/11 and hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, Business Continuity Strategies, Third Edition helps cost-conscious senior management: * Establish a corporate contingency program policy and strategy that ensures timely completion of a plan, with minimal disruption to operations * Minimize plan development costs * Understand the importance of conducting briefings to communicate the proper mindset before the program development process begins * Save time and money by avoiding a consultant's traditional approach of extensive information-gathering that contributes little to the development of practical solutions, but much in the way of consultant fees Addressing countless hypothetical disaster scenarios doesn't make good business sense. Business Continuity Strategies, Third Edition helps companies focus on what is necessary to survive a natural catastrophe, workplace violence, or a terrorist attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As modern organizations grow more dependent on computerized systems and other technologies, it becomes increasingly important that management develop disaster recovery and business continuation programs that minimize damaging disruptions as well as the costs of doing so. Kenneth Myers, one of the world's foremost innovators in the field of contingency planning, now provides you with a time-tested, copyrighted plan development process that you can readily adapt to your own organization to ensure business continuity and cost savings. While other books offer contingency solutions that are difficult to understand and even more costly to implement, Total Contingency Planning for Disasters presents an unusually clear, step-by-step model for developing, testing, and maintaining a cost-effective, long-range strategic plan that can stand up to natural, environmental, and man-made disasters - as well as the scrutiny of auditors. Myers lays the foundation by prompting you to take a good, hard look at your present recovery strategy and consider how well it protects specific business units, how effective it would be in minimizing disruptions in the face of potential disasters and how much it costs. What you'll doubtless discover is that your present plan is only a computer recovery plan that fails to account for other areas of exposure, including telephone communications and vital facilities. What's more, you'll learn that your existing plan overlooks cost-reduction opportunities, that there is a lot of uncertainty about what systems are really critical, and that your plan was probably put together by people other than those who are ultimately going to carry it out. Your next step is to turn to theMyers process, which considers the possible disasters that could befall you and their impact on all the vital aspects of your business - not just computer processing. This book helps you lay out plan objectives, including prevention, safeguarding assets, business continuity, and maintaining market share in the event of a disaster. You'll come to understand what qualities an effective plan must have from flexibility and cost-effectiveness to maintainability and testability. Even more important, you'll learn to gain crucial functional managers support for the plan, without which it simply can't survive. In a highly competitive world where normal, day-to-day battles in the marketplace are tough enough, it's important for you to be ready to deal with major setbacks that could suddenly jeopardize the financial health of your organization. Total Contingency Planning for Disasters is the one time-tested approach that helps you do just that, providing you with a network of practical contingency solutions that will keep your business going while keeping your costs down.
