Business Continuity Management (BCM) is defined as the ongoing management and governance process supported by senior management to ensure necessary steps are taken to identify impacts of potential losses, maintain viable recovery strategies and plans, and ensure continuity of products/services through exercising, training, maintenance and assurance. BCM aims to provide a proportionate, aligned, comprehensive, embedded and dynamic response to risks and ensure leadership, involvement, learning, accountability and communication during a crisis response. Effective BCM requires strong sponsorship, realistic timeframes and prerequisites, and focuses on priorities within the supply chain to create a shared vision and flexible, yet comprehensive plans.
