KISSBCP Podcast

So often we are asked, "what is Business Continuity?" and too often we think about it from the point of view of a big multinational conglomerate. Join Roswitha as she talks with Eve Clements about what BCP means to a small or solo business owner, the proverbial "little guy". Eve and Roswitha discuss the concerns for a "freelancer" and Business Continuity, working through adding BCP to the contracts, to cheap or free solutions to lessen the impact to the freelancer's deliverables, to including BCP as part of the story to differentiate the freelancer from everyone else. What You'll Learn: BCP is critical for the "little guy": Just because you aren't a huge contracting company doesn't mean you can't leverage BCP. Why have BCP in the contracts: Learn that having BCP in the contract shows that the freelancer is putting the customer first, which will help settle their nerves. Simple BCP solutions for little money: Any "solopreneur" is going to bring up cost when it comes to anything. BCP is no different, they don't have the time of the money for anything complex, so finding the cheap easy solutions is a must..

Exercising your Business Continuity Plan is crucial to ensure it is accurate, simple and concise. The only way to find out is to run the stakeholders through a plausible exercise to confirm it works. Join Roswitha and Leona Cohen is they discuss what works best for successful BCP exercises. Leona and Roswitha work through the steps involved in building a successful Business Continuity Plan exercise. While most of it might seem “basic” and second nature, these steps are critical in getting stakeholders to attend and to participate so you (the BCP Planner) can get the most out of it. Discover how doing the little things can generate HUGE returns when it comes to getting buy-in and generating success. What You'll Learn: Set your Expectation: Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was a successful Business Continuity Plan. Identify the scope: Everyone should be on the same page for the plan and the goals of the meeting. As this is planning, don't plan for surprises. Make it a positive experience for everyone. How to set-up the meeting: From Concise Invitations to scheduling responses, having a repeatable meeting structure sets you up for moving your BCP forward faster than anything else.
