Prepare for the Worst, Plan for the Best
'A fascinating read, based on experience with 9/11 but applicable to many types of natural or human-caused disasters. The author provides detailed and useful information on disaster recovery planning for small businesses, emphasizing IT recovery but providing useful tips for much more. The extensive explanation of insurance coverages is well balanced with guidance to help a small business take action to survive, remain viable, and ultimately to recover and remain competitive in the marketplace following a disaster.'
-Diana L. McClure, Director of Business Protection & VP, Institute for Business & Home Safety
'As the number of businesses grows in the United States, so do the numerous threats to their survival including natural or man-made disasters, technology and security breaches, and questionable or ultimately unsuccessful business relationships. Donna Childs's extraordinary personal and business experiences, coupled with her economic development work, make her a remarkable resource for entrepreneurs as they integrate contingency planning into their overall business strategy. Her focus on IT is particularly important given how vital information storage and retrieval has become for businesses of all sizes. A must-read-and a must-plan-for any business owner.'
-Erin M. Fuller, Executive Director, National Association of Women Business Owners
'How will you confront that nightmare scenario, an unprecedented event that puts your business on the line? If you're not inclined to 'wing it' when facing the worst, and if you're ready to channel some new revenues to your company by demonstrating real preparedness, this book is for you.'
-Robert D. Austin, PhD, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School; Faculty Chair of the Harvard Executive Program for Chief Information Officers
'Small businesses are now facing disasters on a scope and scale that were previously unthinkable. This book is a must-read to prepare your business for the worst.'
-Murray Low, PhD, Associate Professor, Columbia Business School; Director of the Entrepreneurship Program
