Abstract

The 2004 article, "Identification of the Core Competencies Required of Executive Level Business Crisis and Continuity Managers," published in the Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (Volume 1 (2004), Issue 1) presented a case for an enterprise wide Business Crisis and Continuity Management (BCCM) program, proposed a functional framework and function definitions for a comprehensive program, and laid out the research methodology to validate the framework and determine the program specific competencies required of BCCM leadership to meet their responsibilities. The purpose of this current article is three fold:

1. To update the 2004 paper – specifically to update the case for an enterprise wide BCCM program which is supported by several documents and initiatives within the government and private sectors;

2. To present the research-developed BCCM functional framework;

3. To present the research-developed executive level BCCM functional area and function competencies.
