The strategic skills of business continuity managers: Putting business continuity management into corporate long-term planning

Wei Ning Zechariah Wong

Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning, 2009, vol. 4, issue 1, 62-68

Abstract: Despite its rapid development in the last two decades, business continuity management (BCM) as a discipline and a profession is still regarded by many as an operational entity of management. Two main issues are discussed in this paper: the role of BCM in strategic management and the strategic skills of business continuity managers. These issues are crucial as they represent the role of BCM in high-level corporate management. The paper discusses the importance of BCM in the long-term planning of organisational success and the preservation of future competitiveness. Finally, salient points that underpin the importance of its role in sustaining organisational performance are addressed.
