Methodology Comparison
How FastTrack BCM is better than Traditional Textbook Approaches
Comparison of Approaches
Speed
Traditional Approach: Slow, often taking several years and in many instances never completed due to lack of direction
FastTrack BCM Methodology: Fast - depending on the scope of work, with typical completion in a few weeks
Detail
Traditional Approach: 100% correct - striving for the technically perfect, fully documented capability to meet tedious, and academic audit and compliance requirements
FastTrack BCM Methodology: 80:20 rule - aim for practical, and simple outcomes that have been hard tested, and proven to be effective. Other requirements are a distant 2nd place
Integration
Traditional Approach: Siloed - separate emergency management, crisis management, business continuity / recovery, and technology recovery into separate siloes under different management control
FastTrack BCM Methodology: Fully integrated - emergency management, crisis management, business continuity / recovery, and technology recovery meshed into a single BCM framework that is centrally coordinated
Focus
Traditional Approach: Plans - although management talk about people as their top priority, in reality, people are the lowest priority with little / no regard for the intangible deliverable of trained teams
In a real crisis, no one reads or follows a plan
Instead, plans are used as glorified phone directories
FastTrack BCM Methodology: People - post-incident reviews of real crisis events clearly highlight that trained and match-fit teams are the most effective preparation (65%+) and not plans (<5%).
FastTrack recognises the importance of plans as evidence of the internal control, and for continuity / training
Project risk
Traditional Approach: Extended - the sequence of phases delays the highest value add activities to the end of the project (training and testing), leaving the organisation exposed to being unable to respond to a real crisis during the long implementation timeframe
FastTrack BCM Methodology: Very short - the highest value-added activities are conducted upfront, instantly preparing the organisation for a real crisis and making the teams match-fit and fully engaged
