In light of recent disasters and terrorist attacks, private and public organisations alike are becoming increasingly concerned with their ability to continue operating in spite of unforeseen events. This paper describes a project conducted at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital to develop a Business Continuity Management (BCM) Framework, and outlines the learning experience. It provides a Framework and describes the key issues to be considered when initiating BCM in a health organisation, concluding that a project management approach can be used to establish a framework for BCM.

The Impact

From previous experiences, it was suggested that stakeholders should collaborate in each phase of disaster risk reduction, in order to prevent and mitigate the impact of wide area natural disasters.However, in several cases, the collaboration was not fruitful, owing to the diverse visions of both, private and public organizations’ operational continuity, resulting in conflicts occurring effortlessly among the organizations.One of the solutions to overcome this challenge is applying the business continuity management (BCM) method, such as business impact analysis (BIA) and risk assessment, to the area. Japan International Cooperation Agency reported the “Area BCM” concept in 2013. This paper further investigates the concept of “Area BCM” and introduces the idea to decompose BIA factors for area and individual purposes, in order to build sustainable local economies.

Long Time

Business continuity management is a process aimed at reducing disruptions caused by disasters and security failures that could be the results of natural phenomena, accidents, failure of equipment, or deliberate human acts. Among the last of the results are cyber-terrorist attacks or acts of information warfare. A long time ago, it was proven that the present level of technology allows for the elimination of pilots from the cockpits of large commercial jets. A huge jumbo jet is able to take off, fly to the opposite side of the globe, and land safely without human intervention. With this knowledge, we must wonder why airline pilots spend so much time on flight simulators, and why pilots are still needed in the front of the plane. The answer is really quite simple: they are rigorously trained to handle emergency situations.

Hands On

Teaching students project managements requires a hands-on approach. Incorporating project management concepts and processes into a student team Web development project adds a dimension that exposes students to the realities of effective Web development. This paper will describe the project management approach used in a Web development course in which students build complete Websites. Based upon the written evaluations included with the final project documentation, students feel this project is the most valuable learning experience of the course. Furthermore, a positive relationship is established between the actual Web development and effective project management processes. It is important for students to understand the triple constraints (scope, time, and cost) that must be balanced in business projects.

Business Continuity Management

Considering the expectations of customers on service and information availability 24x7, complete operations suspension in case of adverse events is not an option. Modern businesses have become dependent on their information systems (IS) whose incidents and failures can highly affect business operations. Ensuring continuity in IS is related to the reliable delivery information. In order to lower the negative impact of IS incidents, organizations should get prepared for them. Business continuity management (BCM) is a holistic management approach whose aim is to identify, prevent or mitigate operational risks. BCM consists of business continuity planning (BCP), contingency planning (CP) and disaster recovery planning (DRP). BCP defines the strategies that organizations should implement in order to ensure their survival when a crisis event occurs. The aim of this paper is to identify the relevant elements of continuity in IS.
