The New Normal – An AI Business Continuity assistant to manage your Hybrid work Set-Up
Adaptability is about the powerful difference between adapting to cope and adapting to win - Max McKeown.
Nothing can be more evident in this time of digital transition. The disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have made adaptability vital for businesses to survive.
The past year has heralded a new era of remote work, resulting in a substantial shift in how a considerable portion of the labor operates in the future.
As Businesses re-calibrate their working model, their Resilience approach needs to align
Organizations are witnessing the great resignation, with 59% choosing to cut the commute and work remotely.
The traditional word or excel based or excel mimic-ing tools, cannot raise to challenges of today's distributed workforce.
Reduce the perceived distance of your virtual recovery team
The concerns that most business continuity champions bring up about virtual work are related to distance — usually physical or operational — which becomes less of a concern the more sophisticated BCM tools become.
An AI assistant smart enough to update critical premises based on current location, intelligent enough to align recovery priorities to varying time zones, or agile enough to show real-time data on demand, is the ubiquitous need.
Enabling a single source of truth (SSOT)
A single source of truth for business continuity is the one source of recovery information that everyone in the company agrees is real and trusted.
SSOTs have multiple dimensions that serve business continuity needs. They can exist at both the company level, sharing information around company-wide items like Organization appetite and Policies, and also at the team level, sharing information around team-specific items like critical processes and recovery goals. What matters is the information is centralized in one tool, and champions know where to go to find the information they need.
Utilizing Enterprise-wide view
Create a culture of transparency by defining and communicating each department's Business Continuity status, recovery plan progress, and success metrics to all Business Continuity Teams at operational, tactical and strategic layers. Smart dashboards that link departmental BIA's with company-wide recovery priorities and on-demand tests that allow you to pilot your strategies allow champions to see how everyone's efforts stack up.
Foster virtual recovery alignment with an AI-assisted BCM software
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to success for any team — even virtual ones. Champions are dynamic, and processes will change out of necessity. Flexible and adaptable virtual teams will weather these changes better than those that are not. The most important thing is that everyone is aligned on the business continuity program goals and works toward testing plans to achieve that goal, wherever they are. A great start to fostering alignment within your Business Continuity ecosystem is exploring the value AI-enabled Business Continuity Software's brings to the table. Get started building yours here.
