I attended an excellent talk by Steve Yates at the Scottish Resilience Conference on Monday and he was talking about business continuity and the Olympics. In 2012 there are also other major sporting events such as Wimbledon as well as the Paralympic Games which will again add to the disruption.

The situation has been compounded by the Euro 2012 tournament which is taking place in June so this will disrupt the England’s team preparation for it.

We have seen programs with large budgets that cannot recover their business and others with small budgets that with the support and direction make the steady progress to a “best of class” program. In Hurricane Sandy in 2012, we worked with clients who were well prepared and others that were at the lowest levels of readiness.

In my bulletin on 20 May 2012 I wrote about the possibility of Grexit (Greece leaving the euro), luckily this never happened. As I have said in previous bulletins, it is our role as business continuity people to horizon scan and make sure that our organisations are prepared for possible future events.

In the UK fuel crisis of 2012, many of the issues were caused by panic buying. If we are in the business of identifying lessons then we should know that once an incident occurs there will be panic buying and it feeds upon itself, panic buying causes more panic buying until there is nothing left to buy.

Although the cause has been different I think there are a number of similarities and lessons which could be learned which we as business continuity people should take into account planning for the next incident. Have you as business continuity people, thought about riots and attacks possibility on your premises and staff?

BP are claiming that the compensation package is being abused, and that they may have to put aside more than the £5.2bn agreed in 2012. Whatever the merits of this case, the issue of compensation after an incident is very difficult. Last week I was teaching the BCI Good Practice Guidelines 5 day training course.
