Business Continuity Management: Building an Effective Incident Management Plan Course Guide Custom Set
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Oct 2011, Pages: 384
The incident management plan (IMP) is a detailed component of a Business Continuity Management (BCM) Plan. Also known as the enterprise resilience, emergency preparedness, or risk management plan, it forms the advance planning aspects that enable the initial crisis response activities to be conducted in a prearranged and organized fashion. The IMP is designed to support business continuity and incident recovery at the early stages, meeting immediate event response needs resources are mobilized and more mature and comprehensive management measures are brought into play. The IMP can bridge, or be part of, more detailed crisis response plans such as evacuation management, disaster response, and reputational recovery, as well as dealing with kidnap and ransom situations and pandemics.However, these stand-alone plans are often better served as comprehensive components within the overall Business Continuity Management Plan (as they will likely be more oriented to specific divisions, fields, or regions), whereas the IMP addresses more common and generic risk types that the organization might face at the outset of a crisis event. The IMP at the basic level supports immediate tactical considerations and management functions, rather than long-term risk management and business recovery needs. Where feasible, the company should seek to transfer decision making to the lowest levels possible for the initial response requirements, as this will strengthen and empower local managers to contribute effectively to the management and early resolution of a crisis event.
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 Pugh, Head 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. Chamberlain, Executive Director ESC
'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 Ackroyd, BMI 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
