A Business Continuity Programme …

comprises the various components required to underpin Business Continuity Management, similar to the parts of a bridge.

The 'piers' …

Consist of all relevant planning, functions and arrangements such as:

	Risk management (in part or whole)
	Crisis management
	Disaster recovery
	Emergency management
	Facilities management
	HR management
	Security (IT and other)
	Core functions and operations
	Quality management
	Supply chain management
	Financial management
	Insurance portfolio

These all contribute to the continuance of business outcomes from business inputs for the success of your organization. But whether your current focus is on one or many of these arrangements, they are each limited in their potential when they stand alone. With BCPL's help these important components can be effectively linked for the greater resilience of your organization.

The 'deck'…

The Business Continuity Programme takes each of these piers and links them together, just as a bridge deck is supported by and links together its piers. This in turn gives both the piers and the deck increased collective strength to maintain their effectiveness over time and under greater stress. This is achieved only by providing essential maintenance and evolving all components as appropriate.

The bridge …

The piers and the deck complement and depend upon one another to create the bridge. In the same way, a Business Continuity Programme connects the necessary structures to provide your organization with a more reliable, and direct path from Business Inputs to Business Outcomes under any conditions.
