...Business continuity planning Business continuity impact analysis identifies the effects resulting from disruption of business functions and processes. It also uses information to make decisions about recovery priorities and strategies. The Operational & Financial Impacts worksheet can be used to capture this information as discussed in Business Impact Analysis. The worksheet should be completed by business function and process managers with sufficient knowledge of the business. Once all worksheets are completed, the worksheets can be tabulated to summarize: • the operational and financial impacts resulting from the loss of individual business functions and process • the point in time when loss of a function or process would result in the identified business impacts Those functions or processes with the highest potential operational and financial impacts become priorities for restoration. The point in time when a function or process must be recovered, before unacceptable consequences could occur, is often referred to as the “Recovery Time Objective.” Resource Required to Support Recovery Strategies Recovery of a critical or time-sensitive process requires resources. The Business Continuity Resource Requirements worksheet should be completed by business function and process managers. Completed worksheets are used to determine the resource requirements for recovery strategies. Following an incident that disrupts business operations, resources will be needed to carry out...

Allowing each individual to discuss what she thought of the simulation, discusses how the tools and techniques used and how changing an individual’s way of thinking will prove that not everyone think alike and that there is not right solution. The simulation is designed to test Team X’s problem formulation and decision implementation skills. Terria’s impression of the simulation was that it allowed an individual to see what problems managers have when trying to manage a business and how they will come up with a decision. She believed that this allowed the individual to be put in a management position and come up with a good solution to solve the problems that the business is having and after making a decision the individual is graded based on what decisions he or she decided to solve the problem. What Terria found from what she recorded on the worksheets was that not all of her ideas to solving the problem did not match with what the owner of the business would...

Team B will explain the usefulness of converting data currently held in Microsoft Excel into a relational database using Microsoft Access. Team B will also introduce types of collaborative software; how this software can improve communications and streamline work processes. Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel is the most used spreadsheet program (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). In Excel, a worksheet is a single spreadsheet that typically contains descriptive labels, numeric values, formulas, functions, and graphical representations of data (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). A workbook is a collection of one or more related worksheets contained within a single file; by default, new workbooks contain three worksheets (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011). Storing multiple worksheets within one workbook helps organize related data together in one file and enables you to perform calculations among the worksheets within the workbook (Grauer, Poatsy, Mulbery, Hulett, Krebs, & Mast, 2011).
