Manage a business continuity crisis
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to all tourism, travel, hospitality and event sectors and to any small, medium or large organisation. The crisis could be of a magnitude that affects the operation of an entire organisation, department or particular project.
It applies to senior managers and owner-operators who operate with significant autonomy and are responsible for making a range of strategic management decisions.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to identify the ramifications of a crisis on business continuity and to respond with strategies that ensure the financial viability of the organisation. It requires the ability to identify and interpret information relevant to the crisis and the business operation and to assess and adapt business operations to manage the crisis.
Managing business continuity is a complex process which involves the use of a range of other interrelated skills, such as financial analysis, budgeting, developing operational plans and adapting the provision of products to meet the needs of a market in crisis. These skills are found within other units.
