Disaster Recovery Tip The Results Are In

As some of you may know, last week we launched our new LinkedIn group, The Agility Community. There have been some great discussions and thought provoking questions focused around disaster recovery and emergency preparedness.

In a recent poll we ask our followers, what is the biggest hurdle you must overcome for disaster recovery planning? And as the results below show, gaining support from upper management remains one of the largest obstacles faced by business professionals today.



While disaster recovery planning is often perceived internally as a complex and daunting task, this doesn’t have to be the case. Watch Agility’s archived webinar on securing management support for business continuity and learn the important steps you can take to break through the clutter.

If you have any thoughts or advice on ways to engage management, please click here and submit a comment. We will be addressing other obstacles including time management and budgetary constraints in future posts. Stay tuned!

If you have additional questions or would like to talk with a recovery professional about your business continuity needs visit www.agilityrecovery.com or call 866-364-9696.

I was "on the ground" during Hurricane Ike. The Members we were recovering were all in shock. The best prepared [and easiest/quickest recoveries were those that had had the benefit of management leadership and involvement in the development of the Member's recovery plan.

I wrote an article that was published in Credit Union Business magazine last month that addressed this very topic, along with some suggestions for the planner to help overcome (or at least highlight) the problem with upper management. Here's a link to that article:
