The Business Continuity Conference, 25th October 2023 in Riyadh - Mr. Atiq BajwaContinuity and Resilience
Business Continuity Strategies
What is a Business Continuity Strategy?
Keeping the ISO-22301 definition of Business Continuity in mind, the aim of a Business Continuity Strategy should be:
“To continue the delivery of products and services at predefined capacity during a disruption”
So a Business Continuity strategy should:
Meet the Minimum Business Continuity Objectives (MBCO)
Legal and regulatory requirements
Contractual commitments
Quantity, Quality, time commitments with the customers
Practical
Cost Effective
An effective business continuity strategy should be specific to the needs of an organization
It should be:
Able to meet the MBCO
Practical
Cost effective
Business Continuity Strategies should be regularly reviewed and updated to remain relevant and effective.
A strategy considered effective today may not be effective in 6 months.

Building Urban Resilience in Critical Infrastructure
Assets, systems, and networks that are essential by governments for the functioning of a society and economy and deserving of special protection for national security.
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions through risk management (UNDRR).
The FIVE ICLEI PATHWAYS reflect ICLEI’s approach to achieving a sustainable city as well as local contributions to implementing the goals laid out in international frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals. Any of our individual projects or initiatives can be oriented along one or more specific pathways. We also look at how the pathways connect to bring about change in an INTEGRATED way. For example, we consider how nature-based development contributes to resilience, or how to bring equity into low emission development.
Cities need to look at resilience from a systemic governance perspective
Integrated management starts with wide-scale mobilization of support from stakeholders and robust facts and data.
Challenges often lie in the acceleration and upscaling of activities. Individual best practice is easier to achieve, follow-up funding and investment is challenging

The five essential elements of optimising your BC programme through technology -
1. Securing Accurate Data
2. Delivering Programme Compliance
3. Turning Data into Intelligence
4. Enabling Continuous Improvement
5. Positioning in a Risk World

IT Disaster Recovery – Challenges and Solutions.
What is IT DR?
1. The ability to respond and recover from disruptions to IT infrastructure, networking, systems, equipment and data to support business continuity.
2. Originated from the legacy environment of mainframes where IT was centralised and had a major impact.
3. Further improved to IT DR sites to manage failover:
Cold
Warm
Hot
4. Traditionally strategies related to data backup by tape only.
5. Introduction of cloud and SAAS solutions has improved resilience through decentralisation.
Next step cloud-to-cloud DR solutions?
Why IT DR?
IT DR is critical and always important, which is often not given enough focus in BCM programs
Critical component of resilience
IT DR and IT resilience is a critical element of a thorough BCM system and resilience program
High % of real disruptions
It failures continue to be a leading cause of business continuity disruption.
Examples?
More important that ever
With increasing reliance on IT and digitisation, complexity and new risks, the requirement for IT DR continues to become even more important
Make or break your recovery
A well defined, implemented and exercised IT DR program is essential to the recovery of business delivery of products and services

Lessons from a Chief Continuity Officer-
A Chief Continuity Officer (CCO) is responsible for ensuring that an organization's critical operations continue despite any disruptions or crises.
1. Build a robust business continuity plan.
2. Foster a culture of preparedness.
3. Establish clear roles and responsibilities.
4. Develop strong partnerships.
5. Implement robust technology systems.
6. Continuously assess and mitigate risks.
7. Communicate effectively.
8. Learn from incidents.
Remember, flexibility and adaptability are key in the ever-changing landscape of continuity management. As a CCO, it's essential to stay proactive, be prepared for unexpected events, and continuously improve the organization's ability to recover and thrive in the face of disruptions.
Business Resilience and its components often gather varied points of view and impressions from practitioners, champions, consultants, and other related stakeholders.
Over time there are few misconceptions that seem to have held on and often turn out to be counterproductive to the vision and goal of such programs.

Crisis Management is a coordinated activities to lead, direct and control an organization with regard to a crisis.
(ISO 22329: Crisis Management Guidelines)
Cyber security and IT resilience is a journey, not a destination, and we need to consider how business continuity, integrated with them.
This is becoming more and more prevalent at Board level and is having significant impacts, particularly on sectors.
Enterprise resilience goes beyond organizational and operational resilience.
It indicates an organization's ability to:
Dynamically plan, prepare, and understand risks and critical functions;
Anticipate disruptions and potential downstream impacts;
Respond progressively in a coordinated, organized, and controlled manner; and
Recover, adapt, and evolve to improve future responses.
Enterprise resilience encompasses cyber and physical threats across all geographies.

What’s a Social Media Crisis?CRISIS? Really?
If there’s a high volume of incoming social media messages on one particular topic or negative comments, chances are you have a social media crisis on your hands.
A communications crisis can strike at any time. It could be a faulty product, a lousy campaign, or a slip of the tongue from someone higher up.
It doesn’t matter the industry you’re in, or how popular you’ve been to this point. Sometimes, it just happens.
Waiting for a social media crisis to blow over is never an option. If you ignore it, it will likely get worse. Social media can be an asset in a crisis when used correctly, not an extra problem.
How to identify a Crisis on Social Media
When the public knows more (than your company) about the issue and they voice it on social media that’s your first sign of a social media crisis
If you start receiving a negative review in series on a particular product or a service then it is a sign of social media crisis
If you get more than 10 negative mentions per hour, for more than three consecutive hours then it is a sign of social media crisis

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains – the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, ‘Are Gutters Necessary?’

It’s a silly title – but a lot of disciplines struggle to prove that they make a difference, whereas BCM gets tested or exercised for real more often than many people think and it does what it says on the tin.
If you want to use these examples – I think it worth noting that the Manila floods were important because they affected a major off-shore location, likewise India. So this emphasises the important of supply chain continuity and how it can hurt reputation back home.
The middle one is about a financial crisis, not necessarily a typical area that BC practitioners get involved in. But Deloitte, for example, are involved in financial contingency planning. The actual article picks up on the fact that the UK FSA was running market wide exercises on pandemic flu, terrorism, cyber attack etc but had neglected to include one on a financial meltdown.
The hour glass is used to represent one of the key USPs of BCM in its focus on “time” (RTO/MTPoD) as opposed to probability in prioritising risk handling.
The findings are from BCI and Third Party research (Chartered Management Institute and Chartered Insurance Institute).
Ahead of the publication of the ISO, the BCI wanted to understand the current landscape and attitudes towards standards, as well as intentions towards the ISO.
This slide provides an overview of the response levels to the ISO survey. 22 from the Middle East, so too low to say too much with confidence. Middle East respondents (22) were enthusiastic about the ISO. All respondents were going to either align, comply or certify within three years. No other region in the world displayed this level of support.
Hopefully more from ME region will respond in future surveys e.g. this year’s Horizon Scan survey, which launches at the end of November.
The survey asked whether respondents currently certify, comply or have developed an in-house BCM approach, which may or may not align to BCM standards. 575 respondents answered this question, so a reliable level in the context of the BCI membership.
Results show that 57% have an in-house approach that aligns to a standard. Hence the Do-It-Yourself image.
It’s worth noting that there are some 20 BCM standards in use around the world today. BS25999-2 is the most popular among our survey respondents.
Respondents felt that the primary benefit of an ISO would be to provide a common language to work internationally with customers, suppliers and internally. Other responses are listed in order of significance.
Middle East respondents (22) were enthusiastic about the ISO. All respondents were going to either align, comply or certify within three years. No other region in the world displayed this level of support.
Certification levels are forecast to treble according to this survey. However, alignment to standards and in-house approaches to BCM will still be the dominant approach.
A copy of the survey report (part 1) is available from research@thebci.org
Chart from PwC shows that traditional BCM applications are not among the top risks that matter to executives.
You might want to add “build” to this slide.
The results are taken from a BCI survey conducted in 2011 and sponsored by Deloitte. With 650 responses, this represents the highest level of response to a BCI survey and indicates that the subject is dear to the hearts of many practitioners.
Across the whole survey sample 29% stated that the board was very interested in BCM. However, a certain sub-segment of the overall survey sample were able to achieve a level of 54%. So we looked at what they were doing differently, which included the points listed at the bottom of the slide.
This begs the question whether we need a new discipline such as “Crisis Management” or “Resilience” to engage the board, or we just need to understand the board and their interests better.
We want to move away from using the definition of BCM to explain business continuity, because it sets “resilience” as the goal. It works better for us if we position “Business Continuity” as the goal of BCM. This gives us the scope to widen the scope of capabilities under Business Continuity.
There are issues with BCM which has led to the popularity of “resilience”:
BCM is seen as compliance driven in some sectors. There has been much discussion about the need for “BC capability” as something different and new, but BC, as we can see from the definition, has always been about capability. We have just forgotten this in some quarters.
BCM is seen as about “recovery” cf. Martin Caddick article in last edition of Continuity.
BCM is seen to exclude “prevention”
BCM is seen as operational. The latter has also seen the rise in popularity in Crisis Management as a strategic discipline linked but separate from BCM
BCM is seen as a risk treatment, positioning the discipline a long way down the pecking order of disciplines from strategy (i.e. below risk management and ERM).
Our experience to date is that rebranding BCM resilience has not elevated the discipline; it stays at the operational layer. All it does is allow some disciplines to be brought together e.g. security and BCM, or Emergency Planning and BCM. Research shows that executives see resilience in much broader terms than can be delivered by unifying BCM, security, crisis, risk etc.
This chart is taken from the Supply Chain Resilience Survey 2012 – which WILL BE published on November 7th.
Although 532 respondents took part in the survey, only 237 stated that they had BCM in place for supply chain disruption (the survey went beyond the BCI membership database to CIPS, CILT, AIRMIC and more).
What’s interesting, other than the affirmation of the benefits of BCM, is that there is clearly less agreement that BCM is about “resisting the impact of disruption” and the bias towards BCM as about “recovery”. Some folk see this as a reason for incorporating BCM within the broader discipline of resilience, so that resistance/prevention is embraced within the concept.
Highlighted text by James Royds FBCI, former BCI chairman.
Lyndon slide (origin unknown) – I think he replaced the original centre with BCM. Originally it stated “resilience.”
This slide is not meant to be prescriptive. It sets out some areas for discussion. The conference agenda covers some of these points.
In terms of the slide itself – one debate can be about whether BC stays as a predominantly operational-level service to an organisation or whether it can be better related to business strategy. Another source of debate is whether BC becomes part of good business and is used as an integral part of doing business just like project management or communication skills – or will it remain as a distinctive discipline. Finally, is BC about certain categories of risk such as business processes and key resources, here termed “availability risks” (subset of operational risks) OR can the principles and skills involved in BC be applied across all risk classes e.g. financial, strategic, operational and compliance?
i.e. we must not forget what makes business continuity unique in looking at its future development…
