Business continuity management (BCM), or emergency and crisis management is a systematic process used to identify, quantify and document business-critical events as well as defining measures to ensure the best possible continuation of business activity.  

BCM has both a strategic and an operational dimension: The strategic dimension of BCM serves to address the outsourcing of specific processes right up to global production strategies, or the selection of a site for the company.  

The operational dimension of BCM aims to maintain business-critical processes or, if a serious event occurs, to ensure a minimum level of service. It establishes the requirements for preventative as well as reactive measures to protect people, assets and the value chain.
