IT-Leaders-Priorities Coronavirus Outbreak: Business continuity & IT Leaders priorities

This intense, tragic, messy, and stormy period of the Corona Virus outbreak will eventually pass from our world and I believe we will come back to normal life.

My heart aches for the sick and scared, during this time of global crisis and I can feel for everyone how they must be going through this time. Everyone is in my prayers, which have become deeper and louder than ever before. We all need to pray for our front-line workers, primarily for health care personals and security forces how they are spending their days & nights to save all of us. This is a hard time for the entire world and I will just say, stay at home and don’t take this lightly as I see during conversations with different friends, number of people still see it as very light and they just ignore the directions of local authorities.

Don’t do this…. #stayhome.

Today we will discuss some of the points on:

  • What Type of Crisis Management Team is required?
  • Business continuity management priorities
  • IT leaders/CIOs priorities

Tiger teams and SWAT teams of talented individuals selected from across your organization and focused on a specific business mission.

Tiger Teams are highly skilled, hand-picked groups of people who are tenacious about problem-solving. While the term originated at NASA, and the most famous instance is the Apollo 13 Tiger Team, the term is now generally applied to a high-functioning team of specialists who come together to complete a specific project.

As per Wikipedia “A 1964 paper entitled Program Management in Design and Development used the term tiger teams and defined it as “a team of undomesticated and uninhibited technical specialists, selected for their experience, energy, and imagination, and assigned to track down relentlessly every possible source of failure in a spacecraft subsystem or simulation”

And as per Wikipedia, on SWAT TEAM, “A SWAT team is a group of highly trained police officers who deal with very dangerous criminals. SWAT is an acronym that means Special Weapons And Tactics”

In business context, Gartner is defining as per below diagram:
