The MS1970:2007 defines BCM as follows:-

"Management process that safeguards the interest of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities by identifying potential impacts that threathen the organization and provides a framework for building resilience and the capability for an effective response"

In the above definition it is clear that:-

  1. BCM requires the active involvement of all levels of management, from the board of directors right down to the line managers and supervisors.
  2. BCM's goal is to implement a level of resilience within the organization to ensure its sustainability
  3. BCM looks are any type of incident which may affect its immediate or long term well being. Thus BCM looks are all type of incidents and not just physcial disasters.
  4. BCM is a framework made up of processes, people, policies, procedures and  infrastructure.
  5. BCM is a process and not a project. Hence it is live and dynamic. It evolves with the organization.
