Business Continuity Blog ? Safe Harbor Consulting ? Failure and ...

So, even though I opened a Twitter account about 2 years ago, this week I decided to start really using it.

I tweeted a thing or two to the 3 people following me.? It was fun, but a lot like talking to myself, which, I sometimes do.

Then, I started looking for people and organizations that I wanted to follow.? Some in sports, some in entertainment, a few friends I found, and even some in the field of business continuity and crisis management.? I also found Eric Greitens whose book, ?The Heart and?the Fist? I had recently just finished reading ? a read I highly recommend to all.

Today, one of Eric?s tweets included a link to this article in The New Yorker ? ?Failure and Rescue?.? I think this article has a profound message for everyone in all walks of life, but I also think it has significant meaning to business continuity, disaster recovery and emergency response planners.

I recently posted a few blogs about the need to have plans that are flexible and provide the framework for decision makers to change the plan when needed ? which, in my mind, will be always for any situation that occurs.? In this article, Atul Gawande, presents this message much better than I ever could.? His concept of rescuing the plans is, in my mind, brilliant.

There is no need for me to try to recap the article for you; I would ?fail? miserably in my attempt.? So, I simply suggest you read it for yourself.? I believe you will be glad you did.

And then, to thank me, you can ?follow? me on Twitter @jpflach.? ;-)
