xx BCM Industry Guide Series: Airport

An Industry Guide to Business Continuity Management for Airport

Business continuity management is a holistic management process that identifies potential impacts of threats and develops response plans.

The key objective is to increase an organisation's resilience to business disruptions and minimise such disruptions' effects. This is exceptionally crucial to any medical or healthcare facility supporting life-threatening casualties.

This book prepares you to understand the contents of the ISO 22301 BCM standard and how it is relevant to the Airport industry. It also enables you to explain and articulate the requirements of ISO 22301 and apply them to an airport setting.

Applying the BCM Planning Methodology results in a response and recovery plan that minimises threats' debilitating impact and allows the continuity of various business processes.

An Industry Guide to Business Continuity Management for Airport

This handbook is intended to be a reference written explicitly for the ISO 22301 BCM Standard. It aims to prepare novice and experienced BCM professionals for implementing a BC Plan and procedures, a BCM programme, and a BCMS.

Business continuity continues to be an evolving art, and it is relatively new compared to well-established practices such as law and accounting. It is also subject to dynamic technology and business changes in the 21st century. This handbook will highlight common and vital aspects of BCM and provide detailed elaboration concerning ISO 22301. It will also not delve into detailed project management aspects of implementing a BC Plan. Organisations intending to do so should enlist proper expertise before embarking on their BC projects or pursue further reading from the author’s BCM Series of books.

The approach adopted in this handbook is to present a series of phases based on the BCM Planning Methodology. These phases are cross-referenced closely with the stage within Clause 8 - Operations of the ISO 22301 standard. Completing the deliverables in each phase within the BCM Planning Methodology will result in formulating and implementing the BC plan and procedures.

This book consolidates assorted practices and critical ideas of BCM into a single
location. It attempts to clarify and link some of these practices and ideas,
thereby providing practitioners with a better overview of BCM and the ISO
22301 itself.
