[edit] Reverted Master Business Continutiy Planner (MBCP) Cleanup (6o26am)

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is an interdisciplinary peer mentoring methodology used to create and validate an exercised logistical plan for how an organization will recover and restore partially or completely interrupted critical function(s) within a predetermined time after a disaster or extended disruption. For open source BCP "how-to" guidelines, see Wikibooks - Business and ecomomics

BCP may be a part of an organizational learning effort that helps reduce operational risk associated with lax information management controls. This process may be integrated with improving information security and corporate reputation risk management practices.

British Standards Institute is planning to release a new independent standard for BCP — BS 25999. The draft of standard had been put up for public comments and the final standard is expected in early 2007. This standard would reduce the reliance on Information Security oriented standards which dealt with BCP marginally.

A completed BCP cycle results in a formal printed manual available for reference before, during, and after disruptions have occurred. Its purpose is to reduce adverse stakeholder impacts determined by both the disruption's scope and duration. Measureable Business Impact Analysis (BIA) "zones" include civil, economic, natural, technical, secondary and subsequent.

For the purposes of this article, the term disaster will be used to represent natural disaster, man-made disaster, and disruptions. Business Continuity Planning is not a new concept; plans for disasters, like Noah's Ark, are evidenced from the beginning of human history.

Prior to January 1, 2000, governments anticipated computer failures, called the Y2k problem, in important public utility infrastructures like banking, power, telecommunication, health and financial industries. Since 1983, regulatory agencies like the American Bankers Association and Banking Administration Institute (BAI) required their supporting members to exercise operational continuity practices (later supported by more formal BCP manuals) that protect the public interests. Newer regulations were often based on formalized standards defined under ISO/IEC 17799 or BS 7799.

Both regulatory and global business focus on BCP arguably waned after the problem-free Y2K rollover. This lax attitude unequivocally ended September 11th 2001, when simultaneous terrorist attacks devastated downtown New York City and changed the 'worst case scenario' paradigm for business continuity planning [1].

[edit] Mr. Burkhart

Please stop adding irrelevancies to articles and spamming talk pages. Such behavior will lead to you r being blocked from editing and creates more work for the rest of us to clean up. I fail to understand why you continue these edits after having been repeatedly told, under at least two account names and three anonymous accounts, to please conform to Wikipedia's standards for editing and article content.

As a certified subject matter expert in this field, I find your crew's "thought control patrol" tactics both inappropriate and unethical! This major peer review update was sabotaged, so I parked it here until the digital dust settled.

This remains a residual part of a three-phsed peer review process:
[1] Move "how to" section into Wikibooks as proposed/requested without revisions
*** Wikibooks: Business Continuity Planning (BCP) life cycle
[2] Save revised version here with peer review comments
[3] Let KMOL-BCP community of practice assess revison's validity.
[4] Repeat Step-1 (above) without compromising its URL integrity.

[edit] Move "How-To" Guidelines into Wikibooks

Subsequent article changes (27-Oct/4-Dec) were Wikipedia style "fixes" rather than modifying substance.
