Hub You - Business Continuity - 1 Minute Of What, Why And How
As a novice writer, I had no idea that cover letters existed until I attempted to submit my first short story manuscript to a publication whose submission guidelines required that a cover letter accompany every manuscript. Once aware of cover letters, however, I found myself confused. So I conducted a bit of research. If you are just embarking on the writer’s journey and seeking to submit your first short story manuscript, hopefully this article will assist you as

The design principles of the dimensional model, which is commonly used in data warehousing, are described in this article series. Dimensional models capture business performance measurements, which are used to support decision making. Dimensional model The descriptive simplicity and high performance in query execution, are characteristics which have contributed to the increased use of the dimensional model in data warehouse infrastructures. The
This can cover a lot of things such as taking out insurance, adding extra security measures or even changing the way you do things. It can reveal the need to create a specific plan. Eg how to work elsewhere in case your premises are out of action.
Since you cannot plan for every possible threat or spend a fortune on stuff you might never need, some tips and techniques have been developed to help you prioritise the planning aspect;
- Identify the really important things you do and what things you need to do them. Eg. You decide customer deliveries are more critical than marketing, training etc. You only have one delivery lorry. You get it serviced regularly and have arrangements to borrow a friend’s lorry at very short notice.
- Plan for the effects of disruptions and don’t get too bogged down in the causes. Eg. Your plan is in place to borrow another lorry at short notice. So it doesn’t matter if it breaks down, gets clamped, stolen or damaged.
In the past business continuity management used to focus on threats to IT equipment and computer data. Nowadays it is recognised that you must consider all your crucial resources such as people, information, supply chains and reputation etc.
Why do it?
Modern business is tough and new threats are joining the old ones; computer viruses, theft, vandalism, severe weather, IT failure and floods. Terrorism and tornadoes make the news but quiet disasters happen more often, such as the leak that sprung over the weekend or the road works that have cut your phone line.
New ways of doing business put greater pressure on your ability to deliver. Everything depends on computers, supply chains are stretched across different countries and many functions have been outsourced. There seems to be less staff and more regulations. Journalists and lawyers are quick to pounce on every mistake. Customers can compare prices and switch suppliers at the click of a mouse.
Reasons to engage in business continuity management:
- Ensure the business survives disasters
- Reduce the costs of disruptions and emergencies
- Gain advantage over competitors by marketing your reliability to customers

Performance and motivation are like chocolate & peanut butter; the combination is better than either one alone. Motivation feeds successful sales performance, which in turn generates increased motivation, which encourages performance, and so goes the synergism of our days. Until one day...... you don’t feel as enthusiastic as you used to, or you find yourself missing opportunities during your sales presentations. You start to cut corners and begin to car

Although the famous investigators Sherlock Holmes had a basic garb that consists of a deerstalker hat, an overcoat, a sturdy boots and a magnifying glass, these are not the essential things that you will need should you decide to take the plunge and involve yourself in investigative work.In fact, except for the magnifying glass, which is not even an essential anymore, the rest are just for show and would not really help you solve any mystery that you may be

But when you send your resume off all alone, that’s essentially what you’re doing. The resume is your key to a job interview, but your cover letter is the key to getting your resume read — and here’s why.A letter of introductionIf nothing else, your cover lette

Ensuring the things your business needs (people, equipment, premises etc) are resilient is not an overnight task. It requires some deep analysis of your business to begin with and then a programme of testing and re-appraisal to ensure you are keeping up with change. Eg. New equipment, new products, new competition, new laws, your friends sells his lorry!
Large companies can employ staff dedicated to risk management and business continuity planning. Medium sized companies can kickstart their planning using consultants. (The Business Continuity Institute can provide a list.) One or two day training courses also exist.
Business continuity management is even more important for small businesses because their margins and budgets cannot withstand heavy knocks. There is some free information available on the internet including templates and guidance documents.
