Synopsis

At its beginning, we have no doubt about the sources of authority. Will today’s all-encompassing anthill of international legislation and regulation give meaning, structure and order to businesses? Will business continuity as a profession evolve to take aim at the wide array of legislation and regulation that has combined to make such authority function? Or will we, like Voltaire’s six kings, claim attention through the assertion of our powerlessness? Sarbanes-Oxley will probably be one of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation that has yet to be enacted. The essence of Sarbanes-Oxley is quite simple; compliance with applicable laws and regulatory matters. How do you know what compliance is or what it ought to be? What about such international precedents as BASIL or the ISO standards? The gap between “is” and “ought” is not accidental but systematic. It’s a gap that may leave us permanently torn. Will traditional business continuity plans work in the 21st Century? This question, while sounding simple, encompasses the complexity of today’s global economy. Factors such as, outsourcing, offshoring, competitive intelligence and socio-economic issues exert unprecedented influence on business continuity planning. Solutions and strategies are discussed providing insight for business leaders responsible for compliance and governance. Critical internal and external risk factors will be examined; their impact on an enterprise and its ability to execute its continuity plan and ultimately survive will be discussed. Knowing how to address the factors that can impact an enterprise’s ability to survive in today’s fast paced global economy must be a key element underlying business continuity planning in the 21st century, if you expect your business continuity plan to be effective when it is most needed.
