Synopsis
Most organizations employ a business impact assessment (BIA) as an initial step to developing their business continuity plan. Traditional BIA analysis is recognized as necessary to develop a baseline of information. It should also be recognized as having certain limitations:
Pre-Event - Best guess as to what could occur
Static - Best guess based on available facts and models.

Traditional BIA analysis creates undecidability due to the inability to predict all behavior in a dynamic environment. Therefore one should adopt an Active Analysis methodology, such as that developed by Logical Management Systems, Corp. (LMS). LMS' methodology is based on the U.S. Military's "Joint Special Operations Targeting and Mission Planning Procedures" (JP 3-05.5 10 august 1993). It is detailed herein. The advantages that can be realized by adopting this methodology and maintaining an active analysis process are:
  • Uses Static Analysis as a basis
  • Touchpoint complexity factors
  • Dynamic - based on creating a mosaic
  • Time Factors (Time Critical, Time Sensitive and Time Dependent) act as drivers
Termed "Futureproofing" by LMS the active analysis process is designed to create a mosaic that enhances decision making by identifying behavior patterns in a dynamic environment.
