Business Continuity Management: Building an Effective Incident Management Plan
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, April 2009, Pages: 362
This book is designed to help companies provide usable policies and plans to enable any staff member or manager to understand how to initially manage a broad array of problems at the outset of a crisis event, as they wait until specialist help arrives, regardless of their background and area of expertise. It provides a sensible and clear background on both common and unique problems a company may face, what information is required to better define and manage the problem, as well as guidelines on how to initially respond to safeguard both the company and employees. It reduces the impact of a crisis event during the period that specialist help is being mobilized, and where the greatest effects of the problem will invariably occur.
Praise for Business Continuity Management
Building an Effective Incident Management Plan
'In Business Continuity Management, Blyth has once again produced a comprehensive guide to the subject. Whether a multinational organization looking to counter the threat of global terrorism or a local business planning against loss of sensitive data, this book provides a well structured and useful guide to construction and implementation of Incident Management Plans. Blyth provides not only the theory and background to his subject but also invaluable template guidelines for many of the incidents which we all should prepare for.'
-Joe PughHead of European Project Management, Panasonic
'Business Continuity Management: Building an Effective Management Plan very effectively details how and what a company should include in composing and executing a crisis management plan. This book is a must read for both laymen and experts alike because it itemizes the most relevant facts within silos that are comprehensive enough for the expert to find value in, yet written in a manner that a layman can derive tangible value. The incident response guidelines, broken down by the event type, provide an extremely useful tool that bring immediate value to the reader.'
-Robert G. Molina Jr.Global Security ManagerLyondellBasell
'For a business of any consequence to not have a business continuity plan is like a Boy Scout not having a first aid kit. Advanced preparation and planning enable a business to deal with a crisis and sooner or later every business will face a crisis of some nature. Author Michael Blyth hits the nail on the head with his well organized book that weaves together business continuity planning, incident management, and dealing with risks.'
-John P. ChamberlainExecutive DirectorESC
'Mike Blyth has produced another book, which is thought-provoking and a clear example of the multilayered guidelines that companies should be encouraged to incorporate into their BCP. A worthy read for anyone in business, irrespective of managerial level. The business model and structure achieved will help determine the time and shape of any crisis. The individual knowledge and understanding so achieved, interlinked with a robust BCP, will determine the optimum time and cost to recover from crisis.'
-Stephen AckroydBMI Security Manager, Middle East/Africa/Asia
'In the global economy, the guidelines presented by Michael Blyth are an essential component for doing business worldwide. He has thought of every angle. In ultra-sensitive environments like Afghanistan, his recommendations will be widely applied.'
-Dr. Thomas Stauffer President/CEO, American University of Afghanistan
