The return to normal operations should be gradual, with defined intermediate stations and clear criteria for each handover phase. Establish dedicated handover governance that involves both emergency and regular operations managers. Particularly important is a structured lessons-learned process that ensures insights are not only documented but actually implemented into improvements – our experience shows that this implementation phase is often neglected.

The development and implementation of effective handover processes requires a structured approach tailored to your specific requirements. Our methodical procedure ensures that both preventive planning and active support of a return to normal operations are optimally aligned with your organizational circumstances.
Phase 1: Analysis - Assessment of your existing crisis management and BCM processes, identification of handover interfaces and relevant stakeholders
Phase 2: Conception - Development of a customized handover framework with phases, criteria, and governance structures
Phase 3: Implementation - Integration of handover processes into existing BCM and crisis management systems, training of relevant stakeholders
Phase 4: Lessons Learned - Development and implementation of processes for systematic evaluation of crisis response and derivation of improvements
Phase 5: Continuous Improvement - Regular review and optimization of handover processes based on new insights and experiences
"The handover back to normal operations is often the most underestimated part of Business Continuity Management. However, this is where the crucial decisions are made: for rapid recovery after the crisis, for the sustainable integration of lessons learned, and ultimately for the continuous strengthening of organizational resilience. Those who do not strategically plan and manage this phase are wasting a significant part of the value of a BCM system."
