I thought I would discuss some ideas to ensure the integration of emergency response and business continuity, preventing incidents where two different plans are invoked simultaneously, with separate incident management teams trying to handle the same situation, leading to confusion and a poorly implemented response.

Business continuity professionals who want to make their organizations more resilient should make a conscious effort to become gap hunters. The issue, more often than not, is that their operations and response plans are riddled with unidentified gaps. These may or may not be minor.

What I AM suggesting is that when combined with a well thought through strategy, a sprinkling of consultancy, and more than a smidge of PagerDuty muscle, you can get a lot closer to DORA compliance. This helps identify weaknesses and areas for improvement in the incident response plan.

When it comes to business continuity planning, a lot of organizations think about anticipated event types and make plans to adequately address them. And some of the best programs take this one step further—they imagine other plausible scenarios and create plans that are flexible enough to address those types of events, too.

It very quickly became obvious to me that I have focussed too much on planning for PPRS incidents and not looked at the wider range of incidents which could affect the plant.
