Risk and Business Impact
Analyzing the key functions and activities of a business, specifically those portions that enable the company to fulfill its obligations to stakeholders including: investors, employees, suppliers/vendors, regulatory bodies, and the community.

Discovery
Review the goals of the organization and set objectives for Business Continuity Planning. Understand the obligations to stakeholders. Review any existing strategies, plans and procedures.

Crisis Management and Mitigation Strategies
Decision-making and authority “at time of disaster” (ATOD) - making the strategic choices and governing the other groups and plans through the chaos of crisis. Operational changes, which will either make a business interruption less likely - or will lessen the impact of an interruption (and make it easier to deal with).

Disaster Recovery
Strategies, plans, and investments that will allow the resources that support the critical business process to be recovered, or alternates found - to enable the business to function when normal operations are interrupted.

Business Continuity Plans
Examining what portion(s) of a business are most critical to its survival – and ensuring that these activities can continue to take place during a crisis or even a disaster.  In the broadest terms, the “most critical” activities a business will perform at the time of a business interruption are those that allow the business to fulfill its obligations.

Implementation (Awareness and Training)
Process of incorporating plans. Involves awareness that plans exist along with training of critical personnel. Plans are tested for effectiveness and appropriateness.

Sustainment Model
The overall program of the Business Continuity Plan that will 1) allow them to function together when needed, 2) allow them to change and mature (be updated and distributed) in a coordinated fashion, and 3) ensure that the staff will know what to do despite turnover.
