Editorial

Hello,
November confirms the success of the newsletter with 140 new recipients. I welcome them.
Exclusively in this issue: the results of our last month survey (the question was: "Do you have a formal method to manage and develop your BCP?"). Your answers are quite surprising.
This month (and probably next), we will not have a quiz in the newsletter. It will be sent separately. The question is not yet defined. It will be a surprise. I hope you'll still likely to respond.

Cordially.

Stéphane Hesschentier
Manager of Resilient Shield Consulting


In the news

Emergency Communications Survey 2014 - Businesses Continuity Institute - october 2014 : BCI conducted a global and comprehensive study on emergency communications plans. A large majority of companies surveyed have implemented this type of device. Among them, 2/3 have a communication device covering the following threats: fire, electrical and computer crashes, natural disasters.
These very positive figures are offset by the 15% of respondents who regularly test their emergency communication plan.
One question remains: Are these numbers representative of the global industrial landscape? It is found that the majority of respondents are part of an international group. On the other hand, it seems clear that companies that do not have emergency communication plan are not willing to answer. This may distort the statistical values ...
Nevertheless, this study is particularly important and should be read.
The study is available at:

Supply Chain Resilience 2014 - Business Continuity Institute - october 2014 : Another document of the BCI which must be read. The supply chain is analyzed from all angles. Companies have severe shortcomings in the mastery of the supply chain and in the analysis of the causes of interruption of this chain.
There are, however three major sources of interruption: computer crashes, weather and disability of outsourced services.
Cyber attacks are considered a major risk for the next 5 years.
See a list of consequences that may constitute the frame of your response strategy.

European Risk and Insurance Report - FERMA - november 2014 : This study, although quite complete, does not bring new this year. The equivalent study AMRAE has similarities. Thus we rediscover the link between the size of the Risk Management team and the size of the company. We learn again the positioning of the risk manager in the organigram. Nothing new.
Take a look on the risk map (page 11) which is very interesting. To keep under wraps to challenge your Risk Management strategy.

World Disasters Report 2014: Focus on Culture and Risk - International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent - october 2014 : The influence of culture on the perception of risk. Beyond the sociological aspect, this issue deserves attention, especially in international business.
Can we then consider risk analysis as a science if its results depend on the culture of the analyst? This question may make us doubt of the reproducibility of certain methods (qualitative methods in particular).

October 2014 survey

The question was:

DO YOU HAVE A FORMAL METHOD FOR DESIGNING AND MANAGING YOUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN (BCP)?

The results were quite surprising. Thus, a large majority of respondents (41%) reported applying a formal  but internally developed method.

Only 10% cited the ISO 22301 standard as a methodological reference for business continuity in their company. It is true that this standard is still fairly new and needs time for its implementation.
