THE CHALLENGE Senior management is continually challenged with keeping track of the

constantly changing landscape of business processes and their supporting

infrastructure, such as their connections to IT systems, third parties, locations

and critical information. Another challenge is ensuring business impact

analyses (BIAs) have been performed for all business processes to understand

their criticality to the business. This criticality drives business continuity (BC)

and IT disaster recovery (DR) planning and related efforts.

In addition, investors, customers, regulators, and Boards are becoming more

interested in management’s capability to continue operations through any

disruption. However, the reason many organizations fail do so is because

they have not adequately assessed the criticality of their business processes

and planned accordingly. Now, more than ever, business process managers

and business continuity management (BCM) teams need to work together

to perform BIAs to understand the key impacts of a disruption to the

organization’s strategic and financial objectives and reputation.

The challenge with BIAs for most companies is that they are not completed

consistently or frequently enough. They are often completed in spreadsheets

and separate systems, and are done differently throughout the organization.

In addition, IT and the business complete separate BIAs.
