BCM documentation

We our self are in process of developing a frame work document. I just want to know how we can structure that document. What can be its contents? I have just bought dejan book “becoming resilient” so more questions after going through that book.

Answer: For structuring a BCM documentation I suggest you to analyse the mandatory documentation required by ISO 22301, the leading ISO standard for business continuity. These mandatory documentation cover the basics you need to ensure a solid and relevant implementation, considering your business needs. You can sees the list of mandatory documentation, and some common adopted documentation at this link:
