Blyth provides not only the theory and background to his subject but also invaluable template guidelines for many of the incidents which we all should prepare for.-- Joe Pugh, Head of European Project Management, PanasonicBusiness Continuity Management: Building an Effective Management Plan very effectively details how and what a company should include in composing and executing a crisis management plan. This book is a must read for both laymen and experts alike because it itemizes the most relevant facts within silos that are comprehensive enough for the expert to find value in, yet written in a manner that a layman can derive tangible value. The incident response guidelines, broken down by the event type, provide an extremely useful tool that bring immediate value to the reader.-- Robert G.
