Stop Paying Lip Service to Business Continuity
Most organizations pay lip service (if that) to business continuity planning. Not just "Hurricane Katrina" disaster planning either, but its more mundane and frequently seen cousin, "tripping-on-a-wire" business continuity. If you occupy a technical role within your organization, please invite your boss, your boss' boss and your boss' boss' boss to this session. Forward the invitation all the way up the org chart. Print it out and tack it to the bulletin board in the cafeteria. Make sure no one in IT Management or at the C-level can pretend they didn't know.
