Minimum viable business continuity planning
summary
Seven concrete practices cut risk: run dr. pepper sessions (scenario workshops) that list specific failure modes and acceptable recovery times; treat any handled incident as a live test and run tabletop drills for sensitive items; design systems to remove failure causes (load‑balance across suppliers, observability for non‑technical assets) and celebrate decommissions; maintain a tested group SMS/alerting channel and rotate routine WFH tests; enforce the Ghostbusters rule so critical contacts and compensation are pre‑arranged.
