On this week\u2019s episode, a listener request. Listener, Samantha, emailed me a few weeks ago asking if business continuity \u2013 as a discipline \u2013 as a product \u2013 as an output \u2013 is business continuity dead. And she asked this because, in her own organization, not one plan was invoked during COVID-19. In her mind, you\u2019d think COVID19 \u2013 with its far reaching consequences \u2013 it would be the one event where you would invoke your continuity plan or plans en masse. And that did not happen in her organization.

Samantha\u2019s question got me thinking. And for the curious who want the answer straight away, no continuity plans are not dead, and I\u2019ll explain why in a few minutes. Samantha\u2019s question got me thinking about the crisis management landscape, and the impacts of COVID19 on that landscape.

In this week\u2019s episode, I look at what\u2019s stayed the same. What has changed. What that means for all of us.
