Business Continuity and Governance

Business Continuity and Governance

Good governance through ownership and accountability are the cornerstones of a robust business continuity plan. They provide the foundation for all subsequent actions and decisions related to the maintenance and execution of business continuity strategies. Ownership refers to the assignment of responsibility for business continuity tasks to specific individuals or teams within the organization. These owners are then accountable for the successful management and implementation of these tasks. This clear delineation of responsibility ensures that there is no ambiguity about who is responsible for what, which is critical in times of crisis.
