Naseer Akhtar, President and CEO of Infotech

At what point in a company's business or operational lifecycle, should the Disaster Management or Business Continuity Plan be developed?

Any business, regardless of its type and size of operation, need a DM and BCP in order to continue and sustain the business operations. Starting from a corner grocery shop, up to a national or a multi-national bank, everyone needs to find alternate service delivery channels to their customers in case of a disaster. The best time to put DM and BCP in place is when ever the realization occurs to continue serving customers.

With such a tumultuous political and economic environment, how can company know what strategy will work best for the company?
