Principles and practice of business continuity : tools and techniques Jim Burtles ; edited by Kristen Noakes-Fry

In this second edition, Burtles explains six main scenarios. He promises: "If you and your organization are prepared to deal with these six generic risks, you will be able to recover from any business disaster." He walks you through handling any contingency and shows how to bring people together to win executive support, create a business continuity plan, organize response teams, and recover from the disruption. His simple, step-by-step actions and real-world examples give you the confidence to get the job done. To help you along, each chapter starts with learning objectives and ends with a multiple-choice self-examination covering the main points. Thought-provoking exercises at the end of each chapter help you to apply the materials from the chapter to your own experience.
