Convergence of Business Continuity & Risk Management

The demands placed upon Business Continuity, Risk Management, and Disaster Recovery professionals increase every day. As a result, organizations need to reassess their Business Continuity Management approach. If they don't, they'll get left behind, affected by continued adherence to outdated methods. The convergence of these disciplines is ongoing. Emerging regulations, frameworks, and standards place greater emphasis on risk management.

As decision makers accept this evolution, Business Continuity increasingly becomes a subset of Risk Management. How the process is implemented – the value it brings a risk-based model – determines whether or not the process is sound.

Hot topic among BC planners and IT personnel

This topic was the buzz during Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ) Spring World 2015. Strategic BCP's Frank Perlmutter co-presented the General Session to 600 attendees – offering focus on reducing Risk and improving performance; establishing a functional connection with Business, IT, and Risk Management; and incorporating a Risk view up front with solution planning and strategic initiatives. A Playbook on the Convergence of Business Continuity & Risk Management was developed.
