TheBusiness Continuity Institute (BCI)has released the first in a series of training films
designed to help business continuity practitioners improve their
performance.
The film, which was launched at this week's
Business Continuity Expo in London, was developed by the BCI in
association with business continuity education provider Ear
Productions.
Lorraine Darke, membership services director at the BCI, said,
"Practice Makes Perfect is a professional training film that
unravels some of the jargon and mystery surrounding planning and
running a business continuity exercise."
She said the film combined BCI good practice guidelines, British
business continuity standard guidelines and insight and knowledge
from some of the industry's leading experts, including Steve
Mellish, head of business continuity for Sainsbury's.
Practice Makes Perfect includes details on how to prepare for
business continuity exercises, what to consider in terms of
equipment and input, and ways of conducting rehearsals.
Copies of the film and additional information in a DVD format
are available from the
BCI's website.
The next BCI training film about business impact analysis is
already planned and may be released to coincide with the
BCI's October
symposium in Brighton.
