Business continuity planning is like playing a game - you make rules and plans so that if something unexpected or bad happens, you know exactly what to do. It's a way of making sure your business stays up and running so that it can go on doing the important things it needs to do, even if something bad happens. Think of it like having a set of instructions that tells you how to do something when something bad happens. Just like playing a game, if you have a plan, you know what to do and you know you can continue with the game.
