Often, overwhelmed by the jargon employed by many practitioners and the mistaken concepts that business continuity is too costly, that it is only for the 'big boys,' and that they do not have the resources or knowledge base, they choose to take the risk instead.For many, it is an unfortunate choice because much can be done with reasonable commitment to avoid business disruptions or mitigate the impact for those that are unavoidable.In this excellent primer, Mr. Fulmer sets out a simple, concise, and, most of all, logical roadmap both for developing the justification for a business continuity/disaster recovery program as well as for developing and maintaining the resultant plan." --Larry Kalmis, FBCI, Project Executive, Virtual Corporation Chairman, Business Continuity Institute Perfect Beginner's Guide in Workbook Format with Worksheets, Forms, Checklists, Tables and Free Download of Sample Plans and Templates This easy, how-to-do-it introduction to Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is designed in a workbook format with lots of reproducible worksheets, forms, tables, checklists and action items.

"Kenneth Fulmer, CBCP, has produced an important and useful guide for the business continuity planning novice… and upholds many of the principles you will find promoted and supported by the Business Continuity Institute and encouraged as part of Business Continuity Management good practices… In more than thirty years as a business continuity practitioner, I have seen many small and medium-size businesses pay the penalty for lack of preparedness. Often, overwhelmed by the jargon employed by many practitioners and the mistaken concepts that business continuity is too costly, that it is only for the "big boys," and that they do not have the resources or knowledge base, they choose to take the risk instead. For many, it is an unfortunate choice because much can be done with reasonable commitment to avoid business disruptions or mitigate the impact for those that are unavoidable… In this excellent primer, Mr. Fulmer sets out a simple, concise, and, most of all, logical roadmap both for developing the justification for a business continuity/disaster recovery program as well as for developing and maintaining the resultant plan.
