CIO Lifeline Roundtable 16 - Business Continuity: It's Not Just an IT Problem

Описание: In this roundtable episode of CIO Lifeline, Tony Darden is joined by Sean Woods of WY Technology to discuss why business continuity is not just an IT responsibility.

When organizations think about continuity planning, the conversation often starts with system backups and disaster recovery. But true business continuity goes much deeper than technology. It includes questions about operations, supply chains, workforce readiness, and leadership planning long before IT systems are even considered.

Tony and Sean explore how companies should approach continuity planning across the entire organization — from understanding where critical parts and services are produced, to enabling remote work capabilities in the event of a site disruption, and finally ensuring that IT infrastructure (both cloud on-premise) can support recovery with backups, geographic redundancy, and resilient connectivity.

The discussion highlights why business continuity must be a business-led conversation, with IT playing a critical, but not exclusive, role in supporting resilience.

For leaders navigating today’s increasingly complex risk environment, this episode offers practical perspective on how organizations can think more strategically about continuity planning across people, processes, and technology.
