Comment on Business Resiliency Planning by John Glenn, MBCI

Resiliency - According to Merriam-Webster Online, "resilience" is defined as 1 : the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress 2 : an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change In other words, "resiliency" is the word du jour for "disaster recovery." It is not "business continuity" and certainly not risk management. Business continuity and risk management focus of risk identification and avoidance/mitigation; the latter absent from D/R efforts. (Business continuity and risk management include D/R.) Risk management, more than business continuity as it generally is practiced, tries to ferret out ALL risks, both internal and external. It looks at all vendors, including money vendors (lenders, stock stability), customers, legal/regulatory issues, and intermediaries between vendors and facility (e.g., transportation). Personnel safety is Priority One. Since PEOPLE are an organization's most critical resource, their health and welfare must be included in any risk management program (that means, among other things, {threats of} pandemics). I agree that Dave's concept of resiliency is nice - practitioners need to look beyond "the usual suspects." I only suggest that resiliency is NOT the proper term; if Merriam-Webster is correct, then as it is used here, it's just another name for disaster recovery.
