1. Contingency PlanningContingency Planning is a methodical and systematic process for preparing for and developing a course of action in the face of unexpected events that can adversely impact your business.The first step in Contingency Planning is to conduct a risk analysis, which includes identifying all of the risks potentially confronting your organization and analyzing the consequences of each. Important areas of risk to include in the analysis would be natural disasters, cyberattacks or other forms of data loss, product recalls, workplace injuries or accidents, and personnel issues, such as dangerous employees or the loss of senior leadership. Once the risk analysis is completed, it is necessary to prioritize the risks by elevating the ones that are most probable and disruptive and creating contingency plans for those first. In Contingency Planning, it is important to have different options for different scenarios, and to address several critical matters, including what level of business operations are possible to maintain, what the trigger points will be to implement the contingency plan, what the step-by-step procedures are across time intervals (first hour, day, week, etc.), as well as defining the point at which you will be able to return to normal operations. Once the plans have been developed, it is necessary to communicate and distribute the plans across the organization, train staff in implementation and rehearse the responses, as well as maintaining and updating the plan on a continuous basisWant more best practices?
