📅 Week 6 — Stop Writing BCDR Frameworks. Start Building Real Resilience. I’m posting early this week from the peaceful Dordogne countryside in France, where the only outages come from Limousin cattle blocking my road. And honestly, it’s the perfect metaphor: Progress stalls when we treat BCDR as paperwork instead of a living program. Headline: Your BCDR strategy is probably a one‑off project and that’s terrifying! A BCDR framework or set of documents alone won’t protect you. It doesn’t evolve, and it won’t survive real‑world change. Meanwhile, your IT landscape is constantly shifting, new SaaS platforms, AI tools, cloud workloads, infrastructure regions, and dependencies. If your BCDR capability doesn’t evolve along with it, you’re already behind! The two BCDR traps I see everywhere: 1️⃣ Top‑Down: Perfect BC governance, but no DR action → paralysis by analysis. 2️⃣ Bottom‑Up: Quick DR fixes, no BC alignment → cowboy recovery. Both fail. Both create risk. The fix: Dual‑Track BCDR Resilience Program. You must do both at the same time: - Fix high‑risk IT systems and business critical workloads now. - Build the long‑term resilience program in parallel. This is how mature organisations reduce risk today while building capability for tomorrow. My five‑step BCDR program engine: 1. Foundation. → 2. Analysis. → 3. Strategy. → 4. Implementation. → 5. Evolution. That last step never ends, your business and IT landscape changes every day. Lessons Learned — Do's & Don'ts: ✅ Do: Turn your BCDR framework and program into a daily operational capability, repeatable, testable, and reliable. ❌ Don’t: Skip BC or DR steps. Every shortcut makes your BCDR fragile. BCDR isn’t a paper‑tiger exercise. It’s a discipline. 💬 C‑level challenge: When did you last see a real dashboard of your critical business workloads’ BCDR maturity, not just a “green” status report? 🔗 More insights: https://lnkd.in/euY2uSY4 #BCDR #Resilience #ProgramManagement #ContinuityPlanning #CISO #CIO #Nordcloud #IBM
