If you have had to face the media before this point you have been able to say with some confidence that your organization has plans in place to deal with any disruptive situation and that those plans have been activated. Now you are armed with an approved strategy to deal with this particular situation which you can show is being managed – not just reacted to. The bank works to checklists that have been developed through experience. Several methods are used – all using the same source, namely corporate communication and PR interfaces with the media. For a prolonged outage, human resource management will interface with staff, including those who have been told to stay at home. Meanwhile the communications and analysis team is interfacing with the business units making sure that they are kept abreast of what is going on, using predetermined guidelines (Figure 18.13). The remaining four phases deal with the management and control of a prolonged outage, the return to normal and debriefing. All are important but the crucial communication element continues to maintain, monitor and prioritize relations with all stakeholders. Organizations are conscious of the importance of business continuity capability to cope with increasing numbers of business disrupting incidents. Scotiabank found that individual plans are not enough. Responses must be co-ordinated and that depends on excellent communication. Many organizations put such a capability in for Y2K only to abandon it afterwards. Best practice Corporate communicators realize that recovery demands that all stakeholders know about it and the organization must go beyond damage limitation if it is to profit from any disasters afterwards. The lesson learned is that strategic communication strategy is only as valuable as the organization’s culture and capacity to cope functionally during a disaster. © 2004 Sandra Oliver for editorial matter and selection; individual chapters, the contributors
