In Hindsight - A compendium of Business Continuity case studies

Essential guidance to help avoid and prevent business continuity disasters

A range of internal or external risks could negatively impact your organization and interfere with the normal running of your business. These could include a fuel crisis, communications failure, industrial action, or the loss of business facilities due to fire, flooding, theft, and vandalism.

Effective business continuity management (BCM) ensures your organization is able to provide a minimum acceptable service in spite of a disaster, and helps preserve corporate reputation, image, and revenue.

In Hindsight: A compendium of Business Continuity case studies analyzes the factors that contributed to some of the major disasters from the last 30 years, including the collapse of Barings Bank, Bhopal, and the London and Madrid bombings, and gives essential insights to those working in business continuity planning or disaster recovery to understand what could have been done better before and after the event.

Avoid making similar mistakes and plan for the worst

Taking apart real-life events from a wide range of industries and sectors, this essential book reveals the themes that contributed to each major disaster and demonstrates the potentially devastating results for organisations that have not planned for the worst.

This book proposes measures that could have helped to minimize the risks and consequences for each case study, helping you to avoid making similar mistakes, reduce risks, and enable faster recovery when things do go wrong.
