Description

In this book, the authors analyze the causes of some of the major disasters from the last thirty years and explain what could have been done better, before and after the event. Unlike many titles on business continuity and disaster recovery, In Hindsight: A compendium of Business Continuity case studies takes apart real events such as Hurricane Katrina, the terrorist attacks in London, Madrid and Glasgow, and the collapse of Barings Bank, revealing the themes that contributed to each. Using these incidents as case studies, the authors demonstrate the potentially devastating results for organizations that have not planned for the worst. Crucially, the book proposes measures that could have helped to minimize the risks and consequences. By showing the potential repercussions of a faulty disaster management and business continuity plan, this book will help reduce risks and enable faster recovery when things do go wrong.
