“There is clear reasoning in an easy to follow format. Each topic is presented in a logical format which aids in the presentation of some difficult concepts. The appendixes are valuable again in the logical presentation of the BCM process and Business Continuity Plan”.  H Betan, CBCP Consultant

“How can a manager benchmark the business continuity efforts of his company? This book written in a particular vivid and insightful way answers to this question. Drewitt provides a practical path to implement a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). The author does not simply rephrase the standard’s ideas; he supplies its own expertise on BCM, making this book most probably the best BCMS book available at the moment.” Paulo Coelho, Consultant
