WK7 Discussion: Shared Practice—Business Continuity Planning
For this week’s Discussion, read the case study:
“Engro Chemicals Pakistan Limited—Business Disaster Overcome” by Muntazar B. Ahmed.
By Day 3
Based on your reading and analysis of the case study, Post by Day 3 your response to the following:
· What were the risks faced by Engro after the fire had left its head office in ruins?
· Explain the purpose of the Business Continuity (Disaster Recovery) Plan. What features were omitted from the plan?
· The systems were not integrated and this made it simpler for Engro to recover from the disaster: Does this negate the concept of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)? Why, in your opinion, did Engro deviate from the Business Continuity (Disaster Recovery) Plan?
· Evaluate the overall plan and implementation.
· What best practices or lessons can you learn from Engro, and how might you apply those at your organization? Provide specific examples to support your observations.
Please be specific, and use citations and references as appropriate and necessary.
Read a selection of the posts submitted by your colleagues.
By Day 5
By Day 5, respond to two or more of your colleagues in one or more of the following ways:
· Analyze the risks faced by Engro that were identified by your colleagues, and compare them with those you identified. Comment and discuss the similarities and/or differences.
· Analyze the features identified by your colleague that were omitted from the plan, and compare them with those you identified. Comment and discuss the similarities and/or differences.
· Provide an alternative perspective on the best practices for business continuity planning. Use examples based on your experience or observations to support your perspective.
· Offer your ideas about how the best practices suggested by your colleague could be used at your organization. Explain why you think these might offer a competitive advantage for your organization.
