Please note the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) shown in this section is designed for business continuity planning in general and is NOT specific to pandemic influenza preparedness. Of course the information gained by conducting a BIA using this example can be used for pandemic preparedness, and indeed should be used in the formation of your pandemic influenza plan.

The purpose of the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is to identify the effect of many different external and internal impacts upon the various parts of your company in times of crisis. It will show which parts of the organisation will be most affected by an incident and what effect it will have upon the upline and downline operational processes as a whole.

A BIA is typically in the form of a questionnaire which is given to operational managers and/or departmental heads. They fill in the questionnaire themselves and are subsequently interviewed to clarify their answers.

Once all have been interviewed and the answers have been consolidated, the results will give tremendous insight into mission critical/non-critical processes, interdependent processes, back-ups, losses per day of disruption, and much more.

It is a very useful exercise to go through, especially for the respondents, who may have not analysed their jobs in such detail before, even if they have been in that position for many years.

You should use the BIA to establish which business functions/processes are the most critical to the company's survival, and equally, which functions/processes are least critical. It is important to note that the BIA is not a risk analysis or risk assessment. Risks are those 'smaller elements' which threaten processes, and are dealt with separately in our Risk Assessment section.

To see our Risk Assessment section, simply subscribe, then access it from the restricted Bird Flu Manual Online "Contents Page". Subscription is free.

The results of the BIA will ultimately form the backbone of a company's business continuity plan and is very important in the formation of the fundamental structure in which we will proceed. To this end, the questions need to be given due consideration when forming responses.

Additionally whenever possible, respondents should embed or attach charts/graphs/maps to further explain their departmental functions. As a minimum, they should include a freshly drawn department organisation chart and a process map of key processes. These will be identified in the questionnaire.

Respondents should answer the questions as best they can using as little or as much information as they feel is required. If in doubt, use a worst-case scenario to describe disruptions. They will have an opportunity at a later date to meet with the person carrying out the BIA in a one-on-one interview to discuss any questions they may have and to clarify their responses.

Please ensure they limit the scope of their responses to their department only. This will limit the possibility of 'double counting' the function/process ratings that are awarded later. Please note there are no right or wrong answers and no right or wrong way of completing this questionnaire, indeed many of the questions even call for 'gut feelings'.

To create your Business Impact Analysis Questionnaire use the sample generic questions below and add a few of your own as necessary to suit the idiosyncrasies of your industry type. Give respondents a 'box' after each question to place their answers in.

See our Business Impact Analysis Questionnaire.

We encourage you to compile your own Business Impact Analysis Questionnaire and use it to analyse the processes within your business.

You are welcome to make use of (for your own use only) the questions from the example BIA we have provided for you in the link above. These are generic questions which work for almost all businesses, however you may wish to customize the questions to suit your own needs.
