Read the first 6 BCI Organizational Resilience & Culture flashcards as text

  1. What is the 'Plan-Do-Check-Act' (PDCA) cycle's role in a BC Management System?

    Answer: It provides a continuous improvement framework ensuring BC plans are regularly developed, implemented, monitored, and refined

    The PDCA cycle drives ongoing improvement in BC capability, preventing stagnation after initial plan development.

  2. How does embedding BC into organizational culture differ from maintaining a BC program?

    Answer: Cultural embedding means BC thinking is applied intuitively by all staff in daily decisions, whereas a program is a formal structured process managed by a team

    When BC is embedded in culture, resilience becomes automatic and instinctive rather than a reactive compliance exercise.

  3. What is a 'BC Champion' role within organizational resilience programs?

    Answer: A designated individual within each business unit who promotes BC awareness and serves as a liaison to the central BC team

    BC Champions extend the reach of the central BC function by embedding BC ownership within each area of the business.

  4. Which metric best measures the maturity of a BC culture within an organization?

    Answer: The degree to which BC considerations are proactively integrated into business decisions without prompting from the BC team

    Proactive integration of BC thinking signals cultural maturity, whereas compliance-based metrics only measure surface-level adherence.

  5. What is the significance of the BCI's 'Horizon Scanning' practice for organizational resilience?

    Answer: It helps organizations identify emerging threats and trends early, allowing proactive rather than reactive resilience planning

    Horizon scanning enables organizations to build resilience against future risks before they materialize into crises.

  6. According to BCI principles, what is the primary purpose of post-incident reviews in building organizational resilience?

    Answer: To capture lessons learned, identify gaps in BC plans, and drive improvements before the next disruption occurs

    Post-incident reviews convert real disruption experience into improvements that strengthen future resilience.
