-
The structured
questionnaire allows data collection in a format
that enables direct comparison of results.
-
Patterning will
emerge that defines the impacts in the loss categories.
The most critical functions will group accordingly.
-
The report
should provide prompt and specific feedback of
the impacts
with time frames to the interviewees and executive
management in meaningful, recovery related statements.
The business impact analysis process and feedback
increases heightened awareness of the need for
continuity
that supports its effective implementation and
allows for adjustments over or under estimated
responses.
Example: Major
criticism would occur within three days from the private
business sector.
Example: Vendors could insist on a 1½ to 2% late
payment ($15-20K) penalty in 30 days.
Example: The inability to make bank deposits would result
in $250K loss of interest payments in eight hours.
Example: A major public relations exposure would occur
in as little as three days to those entities that are
waiting permits.
