Abstract

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is essential to the success and continued operation of organizations, and it directly impacts business performance. Good BCP helps institutions prepare for unexpected disasters and crises, enabling them to continue operations in the event of such incidents. BCP plays a critical role in the performance and success of organizations. By establishing a robust BCP, organizations can minimize disruptions, ensure continued operations, and protect their long-term interests, contributing to better business performance. Some of the standards and frameworks that can be leveraged to deliver an effective BCMS are ISO 22301, ISO 27001, COBIT, ISO 31000, ISO 14000, ISO 20000, and ISO 9001. The research design was a qualitative case study. Managers in some Kenyan organizations lack strategies to design and implement suitable, adequate, and effective BCMSs. There is a positive relationship between an effective BCMS and organizational performance.
