How do you help sustain disaster recovery if one problem comes ...

Disaster recovery is a subset of business continuity. If anyone could share thoughts and insights with me, they're much appreciated. Many thanks! Cross Forum Moderator ?

Do you need to implement such a plan at your organization? Can you be a little more specific? That will get you responses. Stijloor. Involved in Discussions ?

While we further assess the risk and impact so we could develop strategies to prepare the organization and mitigate the effects, another calamity comes after the other.

While we further assess the risk and impact so we could develop strategies to prepare the organization and mitigate the effects, another calamity comes after the other. A lot of business consultants, regardless whether they are relatively small operations like mine or a huge multinationals with thousands of employees (Accenture - 180,000+ employees), still all put on our trousers one leg at a time. This means we are maddeningly methodical in our approach to a risk analysis consulting assignment. This means we spend a lot of time (translate that into client money) cataloging possible risks and then categorizing them according to probability of occurrence. Next, we prepare a cost analysis of either avoiding risks or mitigating their effect if they occur. Some risks are highly probable in occurrence, but have little economic or human effect. Some are rare, but if they occur, would [not could] result in absolute economic and human devastation. The two methods of dealing with risk are avoidance mitigation Essentially, the consultant's job is to lay out the spreadsheet of possible risks, the probability of occurrence, the damage they would cause if they occur, the possible ways (and costs) of avoiding them, and the ways of mitigating (anything from reserves and duplicates to insurance) and, finally, offer recommendations for the client, based on the nature of the risks and the financial status of the client. Sometimes, more than one consulting firm is brought in to assess various kinds of risks, ranging from acts of God, conflagration or inundation, business risks from competitors or changing markets, labor issues, political issues, security issues, quality issues. I know folks working for most of the Big Ten consulting firms and, from what they tell me, their budgets for paper clips alone would dwarf my annual consulting income. I've had the opportunity to review some of the reports prepared by these huge firms and some of them are hundreds of pages long and often include videos and PowerPoint slides documenting their findings. In general, the size of the client dictates the size of the report, but even a small single site facility with fewer than 500 employees would call for a risk assessment report of many pages based on lots of man hours of research and exploration of the ramifications of several possible courses of action for each risk identified. In short, sad to say, whether performed by in-house staff or outside consultants, the task of risk assessment and choosing the optimum combination of avoidance and mitigation schemes or strategies is not a simple afternoon exercise which can be accomplished after reading a few hints in an on-line discussion forum. __________________ "Few minds wear out; more rust out" Inscribed over the entrance of Louis Pasteur School, Chicago Christian Nestell Bovee (1820-1904) in Thoughts, Feelings and Fancies, 1857 Last edited by Wes Bucey; 20th February 2012 at 01:56 PM.
