Making it happen
IBM has developed the resilience maturity model to document the management principles that govern end-to-end business resilience protection across the enterprise. The resilience maturity model outlines the disciplines necessary to integrate business continuity, IT recovery, high availability and security capabilities in a structured manner, leveraging critical management processes to deliver meaningful results to your organisation.
It is the implementation of the following disciplines that helps drive a successful business resilience program and yields a set of customised best practices to support enterprise business resilience:
- Governance: Provide clarity, definition, and guidance at the enterprise level to support the implementation of program initiatives
- Corporate Culture: Position the corporate mission and values to enable the program to adapt to and support business change
- Program Execution: Provide a consistent, enterprise approach to business resilience management to achieve program goals
- Enterprise Risk Management: Identify, mitigate, and control threats to protect the enterprise in a consistent manner
- Business Integration: Integrate all lines of business into the resilience program to provide end-to-end availability and protection of business processes
- Technology Solutions: Identify and implement recoverable, highly available, and security-rich technology solutions to support and protect the organization
- Value Assurance: Quantify, track, and communicate the value of the program to the organization
