On this week’s episode, a listener request. Listener, Samantha, emailed me a few weeks ago asking if business continuity – as a discipline – as a product – as an output – is business continuity dead. And she asked this because, in her own organization, not one plan was invoked during COVID-19. In her mind, you’d think COVID19 – with its far reaching consequences – it would be the one event where you would invoke your continuity plan or plans en masse. And that did not happen in her organization.

Samantha’s question got me thinking. And for the curious who want the answer straight away, no continuity plans are not dead, and I’ll explain why in a few minutes. Samantha’s question got me thinking about the crisis management landscape, and the impacts of COVID19 on that landscape.

In this week’s episode, I look at what’s stayed the same. What has changed. What that means for all of us.
