Business continuity planning
Hoping to get the above referenced articles featured. Appreciate a group review! Revmachine21 10:54, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Very interesting! However, it would be good if we could have "Threat analysis" not just a list of points, but instead summarise each of the types in Summary form. As stated in FAC, it would be good to have some discussion of how it overlaps with Risk management. More information on recovery management would also be great to see in this article (I always thought that this was a very large part of the solution, but I could be wrong here).
 * In my opinion, risk management (the valuation of open trading positions, evaluation of trading position hedging, foreign exchange exposure and limit monitoring) is not the same as business continuity planning, a process that any organization could and should put into place. There is another type of risk management, more commonly known as operational risk management, of which BCP is a subset among other things.  Unfortunately, I am not able or qualified to contribute to op risk.Revmachine21 13:35, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK. Well, I did say I could be wrong :-) Ta bu shi da yu 21:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I added a reference to operational risk in the intro. I think others might disagree on the meaning of risk management but if they aren't involved, they can take a hike! Revmachine21 13:53, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but your opinion of what risk management is is far too narrow. Read the risk management article and you'll see that general risk management is more a less a superset of BCP. I suppose what you refer to as operational risk management is closer to what general risk management is. So I added a link to the risk management article. I suppose not too much more needs to be said, but the methods seem to almost entirely overlap to me. I have studied risk management and work in a related field. We have a BCP, but my knowledge of it is more or less limited to what I know of risk management. - Taxman 17:28, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you give us any real life case studies? This would help us quite a bit in understanding how this works in real life.
 * There were quite a few articles written about businesses responses to Y2k and World Trade Center. I will see what I can find.Revmachine21 13:35, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Cheers :-) Ta bu shi da yu 21:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone in FAC also noted that not all disasters can be recovered from or seen as important enough to plan around. I've also heard this, something on risk assessment would be very good in this article.
 * This is mentioned already under Impact analysis section.Revmachine21 13:35, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, didn't notice this... Ta bu shi da yu 21:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * What license is Image:BCPLifecycle.gif under? We would prefer GFDL, but this needs tagging. If you need help with this, please let me know and I'll help you tag it.
 * I made this image in MS Powerpoint. My design...Revmachine21 13:35, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's very good! But... we really need a license for it. Do you place it under the public domain? Is it being contributed under the GNU Free Documentation License? We need to know the license! - Ta bu shi da yu 21:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Please, you have my permission. Again for the benefit of all mankind!Revmachine21
 * Lastly, where are you getting your information from? Did you get it from the further reading sources? If so, then rename "Further reading" to "References". I cannot emphasis this last part enough. If you need some help with this, I am very happy to assist you and if you message me with the problem I will endevour to help you resolve any issues. In the meantime, it might be an idea to see Cite sources, this document should help you get started with our standards for referencing and a rationale for why this is so important. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:57, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I am a BCP expert working in International Finance. None of the material provided here is considered original material, but rather a summary of 10 years experience gained on the job from various corporate training programs.  Essentially I wrote the text of the article, then found supporting public free source material to back up my text, notated under the External Links section.  Many of the BCP planning tools used by corporations are very, very expensive (and may not be available without corresponding consultant charges) but I did provide the major link (ISO) under Further Reading section in case somebody is insane enough to want to buy the material.Revmachine21 13:35, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, so all the external links should really be "References". I'll covert to the correct form when I get a chance. - Ta bu shi da yu 21:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you format those properly as references then please? :) - Taxman 17:28, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, will do :-) Ta bu shi da yu 01:04, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
