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, emphasising the importance of preparing a business continuity plan and a pandemic plan in response to the crisis. Clark’s book focuses on how an organisation can create a new or update an existing pandemic response plan. He highlights the similarities in managing different types of crisis whether is it a pandemic, or other threats such as cyber attacks, floods, fires, civil disturbances, terrorism etc.
The book looks at several 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.
