Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat - Learning from COVID-19 while preparing for the next pandemic

About this book

A must-have for facing the coronavirus threat, Robert A. Clark's new book reveals what you should do to mitigate the risk, and limit the damage, of pandemic incidents.

The book builds on the themes introduced in his 2016 title Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat – Potentially the biggest survival challenge facing organisations, focusing specifically on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat – Learning from COVID-19 while preparing for the next pandemic

2020 showed organisations that the threat of a pandemic needs to be taken seriously, and the importance of a business continuity plan in response to such a crisis. Clark's book focuses on how an organisation can establish a pandemic response plan and manage the impact of a pandemic, and highlights the similarities when planning a response to other threats such as cyber attacks, to reinforce how the pandemic threat is of equal importance.

The book looks at case studies, reviewing how different industries have been impacted by the pandemic, with the author also reflecting on his own personal experience during 2020. It also discusses the ways the virus has affected our economy and daily routines, and the psychological impact.

Discover:

  • How your organisation can create and validate a pandemic response plan;
  • How to manage your organisation when faced with a pandemic threat;
  • How lockdown has impacted our mental health, economies and working culture; and
  • How organisations from varied industries have adapted in response to the pandemic.

The book also provides useful free resources that offer further guidance/information.

Understand the corporate, psychological and societal impact of a pandemic threat and how to prepare for and mitigate its effects with this book – pre-order your copy today!
