CrypoLocker – It couldn’t possibly happen to you……
Plan B Consulting
DECEMBER 4, 2013
You stroll into work one morning without a care in the world, you fire up your computer, get yourself a coffee and then settle down to work. You decide the first task of the day is to finish the report you started yesterday and go to open the file you saved last night. You find that the file won’t open, it’s still there but it just refuses to open. You then try other files you were working on yesterday but they won’t open either.

A force of nature – some thoughts on Typhoon Haiyan
Plan B Consulting
NOVEMBER 19, 2013
There is no bigger incident to comment on this week than the typhoon in the Philippines. Our thoughts go out to all those who have been affected by it and those who have lost loved ones. The devastation seems immense having seen the pictures on TV. As I watch the news it seems at last that aid is getting through to all the affected areas. A few comments… 1.

This week there was a storm in the South of England called Storm St Jude, which killed four people and caused a swathe of damage. There was lots of warning before the storm and so most people made some preparation. The day after the storm I heard from one of our clients, who gleefully told us that he was using his business continuity plan. His main office had no power due to the storm.

Computer says no! NHS Glasgow computer outage
Plan B Consulting
OCTOBER 27, 2013
This week we have seen a textbook example of a business continuity issue making the mainstream news. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde had problems with its server which caused more than 700 patients’ appointments to be cancelled. With staff unable to access records and scans, treatments such as chemotherapy were called off. Staff were having to manually enter the records written over the days of the outage and tried their best to re-arrange appointments.

The missing link in the business continuity lifecycle
Plan B Consulting
OCTOBER 21, 2013
This week I thought I would discuss what I think is a missing part of the business continuity life cycle. It was brought home to me when I conducted some crisis management training on Monday and then again when I conducted a major exercise on Tuesday.

The crew of 26 activists had been held at gunpoint and then detailed by Russian Security Officers… On the BBC website it was saying that this incident might turn into a very awkward diplomatic stand-off.

To Frack or Not To Frack?

AUGUST 26, 2013
Over the last couple of weeks I have been watching the protests in the UK at Balcombe. The protest group “No dash for gas” and an assortment of others are protesting against Cuadrillia’s rig which is carrying out frack test drilling. This response to ‘fracking’ and its’ dangers, (or not) seem to be polarized and passions on the subject are strong!
