Do You Know Where Your Disaster Recovery Plan Is?

Disasters of major magnitude are major news again after the Gulf coast region of the United States was hit by 2 major hurricanes. So it is very timely for me to ask each of you: “Do you know where your disaster recovery plan is?” “Do you even have a disaster recovery plan or crisis management plan?” “What business contingency plans do you have?” I am very concerned that in too many cases the answers would be “No” “No” and “None!”
The plain hard truth is that if your business is going to continue to perform at a profitable or administratively adequate level when a crisis occurs, crisis/emergency planning is imperative. You must have a properly prepared disaster recovery plan in place and have the appropriate staff fully briefed on their responsibilities.
Businesses need to focus on demonstrating a capacity to effectively manage and weather a crisis. This can be done by employing effective security measures to prevent crisis incidents arising and by designing adequate contingency plans to invoke when crises occur. A successful business approach to crisis management and recovery must be flexible, feasible, and practical.
The basic steps to develop an effective crisis management plan include
1. Identify a crisis management team
2. Assess the most likely crisis scenarios
3. Develop a crisis management plan document
4. Conduct periodic crisis training exercises
5. Develop guidelines for crisis communications – internal & external
6. Continuously review and refine the plan. ??
My challenge to you is to start developing your own disaster recovery/crisis management plans NOW! You do not have to do this alone. In fact, I do recommend outside assistance. If you would like to learn how I could assist, facilitate and guide you through this plan development process, please contact Glenn Ebersole at jgeprman@aol.com today.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
