Why Every Mid-Market CEO Needs a Business Continuity Plan—Now

Brian Montes Season 3 Episode 102

In this episode, we’re tackling a mission-critical topic that too many mid-market companies overlook—Business Continuity Planning (BCP). Whether you’re leading a $50M company or approaching $500M in annual revenue, disruptions can strike without warning—from cyberattacks and natural disasters to supply chain failures and major IT outages.

Join us as we break down:

  • What a Business Continuity Plan is (and what it isn’t)
  • Why mid-market CEOs must prioritize BCP as part of strategic planning
  • How to protect your company’s operations, people, and reputation in a crisis
  • Real-world examples of business disruptions—and their consequences
  • A step-by-step framework to start building or refreshing your business continuity plan today.

If your company doesn't have a business continuity plan—or if your current plan hasn't been updated or tested—this is your opportunity to build resilience into your business strategy. Need help getting started? Connect with us for a BCP assessment or strategy session.
