Many organisations have had to rethink their business continuity
plans in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic — if they had a plan to
begin with. Cecilia Locati, FCMA, CGMA, the founder of consulting
company Internal Control Toolbox, has worked with organisations of
many types, and she shares where they fall on the spectrum between
“no plan” and “world-class plan”. She describes the key traits of a
strong plan, the human obstacles to such plans, and more in this
episode. What you’ll learn from this episode: - What a business
continuity plan should include. - The obstacles companies face in
carrying out a business continuity plan. - The importance of being
generic and specific at the same time in putting together a
business continuity plan. - How human biases sometimes get in the
way of strong planning.
