It’s human nature not to, but as Business Continuityprofessionals we must keep looking forward to anticipate new risks even when it seems that “been there, done that” is the collective mood during these Uncertain Times. We’re not “done” with Covid-19 by any means, and we will have another global pandemic.
Before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, the U.S. business continuity industry saw an average of about 20-25 new job postings each week , with about 30-35 on average internationally. new business continuity job postings reached an average of 30-35 per week, with international numbers increasing to 40-45 posts.
The initial and obvious answer is yes, it is a business continuity issue and probably the largest incident most business continuityprofessionals will face in their lifetime. When the possibility of a pandemic was identified, organisations sprang into action and started to prepare.

The same thing is true of organizations and business continuityprofessionals. The pandemic underscored the fact that events taking place 10,000 miles away can impact us with great severity in a very short time.

I have been to the country many times before COVID however, this was my first time since the pandemic. I have reviewed a number of plans here in Saudi, and I have been impressed with their quality.

In Part 2 of Charlie’s blogs on Business ContinuityPlans, he looks at the different audiences and how we can develop future plans. In last week’s bulletin we looked at what plans are for and the different purposes of business continuity and crisis management plans.

Most of the plans and documents they are using are ones left over from the last pandemic. I always say that our role as business continuityprofessionals is to horizon scan and look out for new risks, but many of us, including the government, didn’t identify and prepare for this new threat.

The world is being rocked by overlapping crises and conflicts including the pandemic, economic uncertainty, the rise in extreme weather, the war in Ukraine, and rising tensions between the West and Russia and China, to name a few.
