Failing to Plan is a Plan for Failure: How to Build a Cornerstone for Success, Trust, Integrity, Stability

Business disasters are not just from fires and storms; businesses face technological failures, internal threats, industrial espionage, employee misconduct, disgruntled employees, random shootings (think of the recent school and Las Vegas concert shootings) as well as cyber-security intrusions and thefts of intellectual property, personal identifiable information, personal health information and financial data.The key to preparation is understanding the threats and hazards you face through a 360-degree risk and vulnerability assessment, and through a business impact analysis. This must be followed by the development of plans to mitigate your identified risks, the education of all your personnel from the top to the bottom of the organization; and then practicing (or exercising) your plans.Failing to Plan is a Plan for Failure takes the reader through a process to identify Risks, to establish and begin a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and to understand the financial impacts that a natural, man-made or technological event can have.The author is an accomplished professional with 25 years of law enforcement experience and 10 years of experience in the private sector building business resiliency plans.
