In this step is to identify the key resources necessary and the stakeholders (executives and management) responsible for those resources. Remember, some resources necessary for a successful BCP might be external to the company. Be sure to include these aspects in the plan.
Now that all resources and stakeholders are identified and listed, answer these two questions: What resources are needed? Who are the players?
Expand the table for the BCP by including a column for accountability. With an assumed and reasonable job title, make a list of probable stakeholders responsible for execution of each recovery effort. Clearly identify their respective responsibilities during the reactivation of business processes.
Use the Key Resources and Stakeholders Template to indicate key resources and stakeholders involved in the recovery for feedback.
