Why is Business Continuity Planning Important?
Business continuity helps your department or business unit continue to function as a viable part of the entire organization in the event of a disruption to one or more critical locations, people or systems. Having a plan in place means your department or business unit will be able to effectively respond to a disruption by safeguarding people, minimizing loss of essential business services and maximizing timely recovery of critical functions. Business continuity planning benefits the larger organization by maintaining a good public image and reputation, reducing loss potential and enhancing operating efficiencies. .
