When the Office Door Is Closed, Is Your Business Still Open?
You arrive at the office tomorrow morning only to find a notice from the city:
Entrance not permitted.
A foundation issue. A ruptured utility line. Something unexpected — and completely out of your control.
Someone physically stops you from entering.
What happens next?
Do you pivot immediately and keep operating, or does the day grind to a halt?
What if the disruption lasts a week? What if it’s longer?
Who decides the next step, and how quickly?
For some organizations, this scenario is an inconvenience. For others, it’s a full stop.
If your team can work securely from anywhere, access systems remotely, and continue serving customers without missing a beat,
that’s a sign of preparation. If not, the absence of a clear plan can quickly turn a temporary disruption into a material business risk.
This is exactly where Business Continuity Planning (BCP) proves its value.
BCP doesn’t have to be overly complex or theoretical. At its core, it’s about knowing — before something goes wrong —
what your next move is. Sometimes that’s a simple, one-page plan. Other times, it’s a structured decision framework that accounts
for multiple failure scenarios.
Either way, being prepared makes the difference between reacting under pressure and operating with confidence.
