Business Continuity Management
 
 
 

What is BCM?

Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic process that identifies potential eventualities that threaten an organisation. It provides a framework for resilience and response capability in order to safeguard operations, people (staff members, students and other stakeholders) and confidence in the organisation.

BCM (sometimes referred to in the same context as emergency response and disaster recovery) is about preparing for the unexpected and minimising risk. What would you do if the building where you worked was destroyed by fire? What would you do if the electricity sub-station failed and there was no electricity to campus?

Business continuity plans which are in each faculty/division (usually held by the Dean/Director and a nominated deputy) provide a firm basis for assessing the impact of a disruption and facilitating the continuation of our business.
