Does one of these describe you?

• Preparing for a Business Continuity Management career, needing step-by-step guidelines,
• Working in BCM, looking to deepen knowledge and stay current -- and create, update, or test a Business Continuity Plan.
• Managing in BCM, finance, facilities, emergency preparedness or other field, seeking to know as much as much as possible to make the decisions to keep the company going in the face of a business interruption.

Hiles has designed the book for readers on three distinct levels: Initiate, Foundation, and Practitioner. Each chapter ends with an Action Plan, pinpointing the primary message of the chapter and a Business Continuity Road Map, outlining the actions for the reader at that level.
