The Need for BCM

In light of recent crises and disasters, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the wildfires in Los Angeles, it has become clear that continuity is not just a concept for businesses, it’s a science that touches every individual.

During the pandemic, we learned how to ensure our children's education continued, how to secure our basic needs like food and medical care, and how to adapt to working remotely. This is continuity at a personal level.

At the business level, organizations now heavily rely on information systems to produce goods and deliver services. However, these systems are vulnerable to disruptions caused by cyberattacks, technical failures, or even natural disasters. Such disruptions can have a severe impact on business continuity, highlighting the need for proper preparation.

Thus, business continuity is not just a term for academics or managers, it’s a necessity for life, whether we’re talking about individuals or organizations. In the upcoming articles, I will dive deeper into this fascinating science and explore how we can apply it at all levels to ensure resilience in the face of challenges.
