Building A Preparedness Program…like Building a Skyscraper?

By: Awareity
On: August 9, 2010

 

I attended the Virginia Governor’s Campus Preparedness conference last week and had an interesting discussion with one of the attendees.  We were talking about how building preparedness across an organization or an entire campus is becoming more complex and more difficult due to escalating challenges, regulations, obligations, liabilities and much more.

skyscraperAs our discussion continued, we started talking about how important tools can be when building campus-wide preparedness programs.   In reference to whether tools can make a difference, I offered the following analogy:

Could a skyscraper be built using a hammer, a saw and some nails?

The attendee responded quickly, yes the skyscraper could be built but she wouldn’t go inside it!

Next we discussed how building a skyscraper and building a campus-wide or organization-wide preparedness program have a lot in common:

  • Both require blueprints
  • Both are complex and require planning
  • Both require specialized tools to build
  • Both have a lot of parts or “dots to connect”
  • Both require specialized tools to maintain
  • People will not trust poorly built skyscrapers or preparedness programs

 

Are you building your __________ program [preparedness, compliance, business continuity, safety, security, ethics, etc.] with old outdated tools such as binders, intranets, shared drives and general training?
