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.
