Abstract
This paper takes a light-hearted look at two very dissimilar topics — losing weight and establishing a business continuity programme — and considers the similar challenges that must be overcome to ensure success. Both topics require buy-in by the participants, a disciplined approach, certified managers and planning techniques to keep the efforts on track.
Keywords: business continuity management; business continuity programme; project initiation; certified planners; professional practices; good practice guidelines; iterative process; fundamentals
