BCI Certificate of the Business Continuity Institute (CBCI) CBCI Question # 22 Topic 3 Discussion
CBCI Exam Topic 3 Question 22 Discussion:
Question #: 22
Topic #: 3
When setting up any individual exercise, which of the following should be taken into consideration in relation to risks to business as usual?
A.
Personnel, including senior managers, should be instructed to consider the exercise as a priority and ignore any risks to business as usual that may arise during the exercise
B.
Pre-existing business as usual commitments should be treated as a secondary consideration to ensure that these commitments do not undermine the exercise activity
C.
The disruption caused by the exercise and any impact should be planned in advance, monitored and controlled during the exercise and minimised
D.
Any impacts of the exercise on business as usual should be written off in advance as an acceptable cost of carrying out the exercise
Exercising business continuity plans involves balancing the need to simulate realistic scenarios while minimizing unintended disruption to normal operations. The CBCI 7.0 course instructs that exercise planners must anticipate and control any business as usual impacts through careful planning, monitoring, and mitigation during the exercise. Ignoring risks or dismissing business as usual commitments undermines organizational operations and can reduce support for continuity activities. Managing disruption effectively ensures exercises achieve their objectives without unnecessary operational costs.
