Research and Markets: Business Continuity Management: Building an Effective Incident Management Plan Course Guide Custom Set

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7ee55d/business_continuit) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Business Continuity Management: Building an Effective Incident Management Plan Course Guide Custom Set" to their offering.

The incident management plan (IMP) is a detailed component of a Business Continuity Management (BCM) Plan. Also known as the enterprise resilience, emergency preparedness, or risk management plan, it forms the advance planning aspects that enable the initial crisis response activities to be conducted in a prearranged and organized fashion. The IMP is designed to support business continuity and incident recovery at the early stages, meeting immediate event response needs resources are mobilized and more mature and comprehensive management measures are brought into play. The IMP can bridge, or be part of, more detailed crisis response plans such as evacuation management, disaster response, and reputational recovery, as well as dealing with kidnap and ransom situations and pandemics. However, these stand-alone plans are often better served as comprehensive components within the overall Business Continuity Management Plan (as they will likely be more oriented to specific divisions, fields, or regions), whereas the IMP addresses more common and generic risk types that the organization might face at the outset of a crisis event. The IMP at the basic level supports immediate tactical considerations and management functions, rather than long-term risk management and business recovery needs. Where feasible, the company should seek to transfer decision making to the lowest levels possible for the initial response requirements, as this will strengthen and empower local managers to contribute effectively to the management and early resolution of a crisis event.
