I always describe it as an insurance policy - there are many of us who understand the value of knowing that if the worst should happen, there is something in place to reduce the impact of an event. If your office has a fire, the chances of your business surviving are higher if you can get your furniture and equipment replaced.

 

The level of risk that you are comfortable with varies by industry and by organisation; if your risk appetite is low, then you need to decide what is most important and protect that the most - this could be systems, people, supply chain, location or any other business component. Spread your risk by having a dual supplier policy - two types of hardware, two telecoms links, two sites etc. In many cases, having two suppliers ensures that your pricing remains competitive and allows you to invest those savings in your core business.

 

At the other end of the spectrum, many people prefer to keep their fingers crossed and hope that bad things will not happen - good luck with that as a plan when the inevitable occurs. If you plan, you have a chance to recover; if you do not, you are risking your business and your livelihood.
