Strategy

Shadow-Planner’s new strategy module enhances your business continuity program by offering a comprehensive approach to identifying, capturing, and managing recovery strategies.

Now, you can create strategy records seamlessly for any component of your business continuity program, just as you would in the business impact analysis (BIA).

Tailor the data captured for each record to align with the specific needs or maturity level of your program. This flexibility allows you to optimise your strategy management and ensure a robust and adaptable approach to business continuity.

You can:

• Specify scenarios for record owners to document their strategies
• Include guidance notes to shape the captured information
• Choose dependency sets from the BIA module to capture low-level recovery/workaround strategies
• Establish pre-defined strategy options for users to select for each dependency type
• Capture one or many strategies for each scenario in Shadow-Planner to reflect the resilience maturity within your organisation
• Analyse created strategies for gaps in other parts of your organisation, share best practices, and enhance overall resilience across the business

All this flexibility allows for strategies to be gathered against the high-level impacts (loss of people, premises, critical third parties, IT, cyber attack, product/service disruption etc.) as well as the granular level against individual dependencies (systems, resources etc.)
