You may ask yourself:  \n• Do you have a plan?  \n• Is it current?  \n• Have you tested it recently with your team?  \nExamples of disasters that can impact a business:  \n— Spread of infectious diseases  \n— Consequences of climate  \n— Public health, infrastructure and national security emergencies  \n— Cyber-attacks  \n— Social unrest  \n— Threat of war or terrorism  \n— Fires  \n— Strikes/labor stoppage  \n— Facility failures  \nWhy a Plan Matters  \nA robust business continuity plan is the foundation of supply continuity to meet the demands of your customers and safety of your personnel during an emergency. It is critically important to establish a business continuity plan that your leadership team can effectively implement when needed. All stakeholders, from vendors to employees to customers, must depend on your dealership to navigate safely through a crisis.  \nKey Features  \nAn effective business continuity plan includes:  \n‒ Strategy: Maintain day-to day activities while ensuring continuous operations  \n‒ Organization: Skills, communications, and responsibilities of employees  \n‒ Applications/Data: Software necessary to enable business operations  \n‒ Processes: Critical business procedures necessary to run the business  \n‒ Technology: Systems, network and industry-specific technology necessary to enable continuous operations  \n‒ Facilities: Providing a disaster recovery site if the primary site is destroyed  \nDefinition:  \nA business continuity plan details the processes and procedures that help protect or quickly restore your operations in the event of a major disaster, be it physical or technological.  \n4  \nCreating Your Plan  \nBusiness continuity plans should detail how your organization can recover in 72 hours or less.  \nYour plan should:  \n‒ Lead with a heightened sense of urgency  \n‒ Anticipate that the problem may be worse than initially known and act accordingly  \n‒ Plan for responses in minutes/hours, not days/weeks  \n‒ Be willing to quickly share bad news – transparency is key to effective communication  \n‒ Have a robust plan in place that provides options  \n‒ Have well-defined processes with solid recovery options to continue selling and shipping products  \n‒ Meet the demands of your customers and safety of your employees during an emergency  \n72 hours  \nYour plan should detail recovery efforts in 72 hours or less  \n6-10  \nEffective plan development can take 6-10 months, so get started today!  \nGuiding Principles for Your Plan  \nComprehensive  \nWhile it is difficult to plan for every possible disruption, don’t assume your primary plan is enough. Create several backup plans. Consider all factors to anticipate that everything could go wrong at some point.  \nRealistic  \nTo be realistic, your goal must represent objectives you and your team are willing and able to execute. Expectations around roles and responsibilities should recognize strengths and limitations with leaders and staff members.  \nEfficient  \nYour business continuity plan must be simple yet able to be executed efficiently and with available resources. Stress in a time of disaster or disruption can make even simple tasks more difficult to accomplish.  \nAdaptable  \nAllow flexibility your plan to adapt to the moment, as circumstances change. The plan should account for constant monitoring of the situation and provide a good foundation from which to pivot  \nThe Benefits of a Strong Plan  \nMaintain business operations  \nYou can mitigate financial loss and reassure employees and customers when you keep your business running through a crisis.  \nBuild customer confidence  \nCustomers want to know that you can respond to any disruption.
