About the Book

Business continuity planning is a process of continual improvement, not a matter of writing a plan and then putting your feet up. Attempting to validate every aspect of your plan, however – particularly in a live rehearsal situation – could create a disaster of your own making.Validating Your Business Continuity Plan examines the three essential components of validating a business continuity plan – exercising, maintenance and review – and outlines a controlled and systematic approach to BCP validation while considering each component, covering methods and techniques such as table-top reviews, workshops and live rehearsals. The book also takes account of industry standards and guidelines to help steer the reader through the validation process, including the international standard ISO 22301 and the Business Continuity Institute’s Good Practice Guidelines. In addition, it provides a number of case studies based on the author’s considerable experience – some of them successful, others less so – to highlight common pitfalls and problems associated with the validation process.

Review :
Overall I really liked this book, finding it very informative and amusing – it is also best to learn at the expense of the mistakes of others rather than your own. For those new to the subject it provides excellent tips and advice and for those more experienced it provides food for thought and some new challenges. The book is light hearted and entertaining but with a hard hitting message Overall I found it excellently written and of great value. I guess this was expected based on the qualification and experience level of the author.  The premise of the book is excellent as it focuses on the need to actually test a plan rather than just write and store it with no future revisions. The writing style is great and the huge range of examples given will be of great value to anyone purchasing the book.  In summary, very enjoyable, derived great value from it and I am sure that it will do extremely well.
