Rina Singh in conversation with Tim Janes HonFBCI, Business Continuity Consultant, former chair of The BCI.
Business Continuity Management has traditionally been a ‘hands-on’ discipline with most activities conducted in face-to-face situations, whether as a programme planning meeting, BIA workshop, or desk-top exercise.
Many organisations have now adopted remote working practices for much of their workforce that have proven popular and productive, and so are likely to become permanent. The pandemic has also increased the visibility of business continuity and resilience in many organisations, but this may be a transitional effect.
We need to consider how these, and other significant COVID-19 induced changes, may impact on business continuity and think about what business continuity practices will look like when the pandemic has passed? Will the BC profession need to adapt established practices to accommodate more enduring changes such as remote working where colleagues may rarely be in the same place at the same time?
