A Guide to Business Continuity Planning

Reviewed by Manu Steens in BCM
  • AuthorJames C. Barnes

Author: James C. Barnes

In ‘A Guide to Business Continuity Planning‘, the author brings together his wisdoms that he collected during the execution of his work as a consultant in the business continuity branch. They are not high-flowing theories, rather a collection of facts that he illustrates very extensively with fairly complete examples, which, after interpretation of their own business and possible adaptation to their own templates, are ready for use.

Specifically, the author gives examples of:

–     a work plan
–     an offer,
–     a policy statement
–     a BIA
–     crisis procedures
–     Other…

In addition, he goes through the development of BCM as through a project. Each phase of the project is a chapter, seasoned with practical examples that provide inspiration for the ‘own work’ of the reader.

That is why the ‘A Guide to Business Continuity Planning’ is interesting for a practical person, regardless of whether he / she is a consultant or has to set up BCM for his or her own organization.

About Manu

Who am I? What do I do?

By education I am a Civil Engineer (Master in Engineering Sciences option Physics) and Master in Sciences, option Physics. After seven years of working as a consultant, I was able to work for the Flemish Government where I still work.

Since 2003 I have been committed to ICT security and since 2013I have been responsible for Business Continuity Management and Crisis Management. It is through that trajectory that I picked up the virus to study and apply everything that has to do with risks.
