Business continuity planning (BCP) ensures an organization functions smoothly during an unplanned incident or disaster. In this course, you'll explore what comprises BCP and how you can employ its methods before, during, and after a disaster. You'll learn about the importance of a business continuity plan and what's needed to create an effective one. You'll differentiate a business continuity plan from disaster recovery and emergency action plans. You'll then investigate some of the individual BCP steps in more detail, including the business impact analysis (BIA), risk management plan, and incident response plan phases. Moving on, you'll study what's involved in post-disaster recovery planning. Finally, you'll explore how to achieve business resiliency and excellence in the face of a disaster and during a pandemic, examining not only how to get back to normal but also how to exploit new opportunities and grow.
