Business Continuity Planning: A Step-by-Step Guide With Planning Forms

Great book...I found it to be very helpful with preparing my company's Business Continuity plan.

"A good "canned" approach to apply as a starter. Some interesting forms and formulaic methods to work towards an enterprise resilience model"

The guidelines provided were very easy to follow and apply to our needs. The templates provided were very useful. The books allows you to customize your plan.

Excellent book

Business Continuity Planningby Kenneth L. Fulmer, CBCPThe Business Continuity Planning book focuses on guiding the reader to a plan and, to the book's credit, does not stray from this subject. The Planning Forms on CD-ROM are numerous and detailed. These forms can be of great assistance to the reader who is trying to develop a plan.Business Continuity Planning is designed for use by entry-level professionals as well as by interested non-professionals. The book is very easily to read and is logically organized. The reader should know that there is an emphasis on the non-technical aspects of Information Technology / Disaster Recovery planning.Douglas M. Henderson, FSA, CBCPDisaster Management, Inc.

I have read a number of books on Business Continuity Planning. This book is by far the best. I have suggested to my business contacts to read this book and they all say they have benefited from the information. Even if your company decides not to develop a complete plan, you will find valuable steps you can take that will reduce your disaster risk easily and without major funding. It is set up like a workbook and takes you logically and methodically through the planning process from start to finish. I found it particulary beneficial that this guide enabled me to clearly explain to senior management the importance of developing a plan and the steps we should follow to develop ours. The book may not be for the seasoned BCP planner, but it is an invaluable resource for those of us who need to know the right questions to ask and what to do with the information once you get the answer. The CD-ROM that is included provides easy to follow worksheets, forms, samples and links to other resources that can be found on the Internet.Mr. Fulmer has done us a great favor by putting this step-by-step guide together. I highly recommend it to anyone who newly faces this callenging task or needs to update their existing plan.

I have just started out creating a DR/BC program for my company and this book was very helpful in building that foundation. There are lots of good tips, charts, formats, etc. It really is a necessary tool when starting out or updating your plans. I would highly recommend this book.

It is a good BCP Reference, instead of not making further comments and explanations about the Crisis Management Subject

Nice and logical, useful step by step book, pick up and put down as you need. Some good technical worksheets that you can easily copy, or photocopy and adapt, very good book for IT professionals
