# 1 Survival.
The harsh but simple fact is that there are a hundred and one things that can disrupt a business. A well thought out, practical plan can mean the difference between coping with a disaster and going bust.
# 2 Revealing inefficiency.
A business under threat can be viewed like a patient on an operating table. The priorities are clear; maintain the blood supply (like cash flow), oxygen (like communication links) and at all costs protect the vital organs (like the staff, or premises).
Business continuity planning starts with a thorough analysis of the business to decide what parts are vital. Is that product or service really essential to what we do? Why do we need four of those not two? When viewed like this the non-critical parts reveal themselves – all the procedures and resources that have appeared over the years but which aren’t really necessary.
# 3 Gaining the marketing edge.
Having a business continuity plan can give you the edge over your competitors. It shows your commitment to deliver no matter what happens.
Put yourself in your customer’s shoes - do you sign the contract with the business that has a business continuity plan? Or the one that doesn’t?
# 4 Boosting staff morale.
To find and keep excellent staff you need to inspire confidence and maintain loyalty.
When something goes wrong they expect/demand the business to have a plan and to cope. In return they will give you their best efforts.

Fear will jetison you into fight or flight mode. Resistance will try to figure things out. Why? Because fear is a vibration of powerlessness and resistance is a vibration of opposition.On an energetic level, powerlessness feels quite different from opposition. Test it out. Think this thought: fear. How did your body respond to the thought of fear? Did you notice your eyes dilating? Did you experience rapid and shallow breathing? Did your eyes narrow and dart around the room l

Do you have a hard time getting the dish right even if you have a cookbook with you?If you feel that your cooking impresses not just your cat, and that you breeze your way through cookbooks, then you really have what it takes to be in culinary arts. You can furthe

Many are surprised that Six Sigma refers to their trained experts as “Belts.” There are Green Belts and Black Belts in Six Sigma, referring to a level of training they have achieved. The term Black Belt is not an empty buzzword nor is it a mockery of organized martial arts. Comparing a Six Sigma Black Belt and Martial Arts Black Belt is a revealing exercise.Just like in martial arts, to obtain a Black Belt in Six Sigma requires training that teaches skills and discipline.

In 1952, Harry Klemfuss saw the need to recognize secretaries for their hard work and dedication. National Secretary’s Day was created on his notion that secretaries are essential to the corporate world. This unofficial holiday is presently celebrated on the last Wednesday in April.

# 6 Compliance.
The demand for business continuity plans is now rippling down from big business to their smaller suppliers. In the UK one of the big supermarkets (Sainsburys) is starting to vet suppliers. Added to this legislation such as the UK's Civil Contingencies Act 2004 now requires category one responders (local councils, health authorities, police, fire etc) to ensure the business continuity arrangements of their suppliers.
# 7 Better communication.
A business continuity plan relies upon communication – being able to give the right person (who can fix the problem), the right info, at the right time. It’s also the ability to keep talking to customers, suppliers and staff even if your office is a pile of rubble or just locked up and the key missing.
Normal, day to day business can surely benefit from better communication. Whether that's having a wider range of tools at your disposal or becoming more disciplined at sending the right information to the right people.
# 8 Increased value.
A business that will cope with whatever is thrown at it is a more valuable and reliable investment than others. Ensure this is factored in when asking your bank manager for a loan, when selling some equity or dealing with the new owner when you have decided to sell up and relax.
# 9 A negotiation tool.
Scientia potentia est - Knowledge is power. Understanding the principles of business continuity means you can spot weaknesses in other businesses. If your main supplier is asking for a price increase ask about their business continuity plans. If
