Events Analysis Paper (Individual)
The purpose of this written assignment is to analyze a historical event from
the perspective of its impact on an organization and its systems for
continuity of business processes. This assignment focuses on business
continuity planning and the ability to recover from unforeseen circumstances.
You are to research a major event that not only influenced but transformed how businesses prepared for
the unexpected. Select an organization—business, industry, government
or major nonprofit—to research and analyze preparation and response to a recent
event (Less than
3 years).
IMPORTANT: Please select an organization (just
one) that has been impacted by the major event that you are citing. It may
be that this organization does not have a BC/DR process or plan – or it could
be that this organization has been able to successfully navigate through the
event because of being better prepared.
This assignment is designed to increase your knowledge of how systems
contribute to contingency planning and disaster recovery and enables you to
analyze risk and organizational readiness. This assignment will help you
enhance your research and writing skills as well as your critical-thinking
abilities. Your analysis should address the requirements below.
You must research a topic of historical significance and analyze its
importance from a business contingency planning perspective. You are to discuss
the organization and its business processes, summarize the historical event,

basic strategies employed to safeguard systems.
You are to provide a three- to five-page (not including cover page and
