Take Survey

BCM Compensation - 1st Section of Study
Study focuses on factors that impact compensations within business continuity and related disciplines. Participants are Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, Emergency Management, Crisis Management, or Risk Management professionals who work as consultants, practitioners (entry level to chief officers) or sales/ sales management professionals. Study accommodates FTE, PTE, Independent Contractors and Unemployed professionals. Estimated time to complete this section is 15 minutes. View Completed BCM Compensation Reports.

BCM Program Management - 2nd Section of Study
(You may opt to skip the first section of the study - BCM Compensation) How many personnel do other organizations have dedicated to their program? Where should business continuity ideally report to within an organization? These questions and many more are addressed within BC Management's study. Our study is comprehensive focusing on budgets, personnel, vendors, reporting structure and much more. Estimated time to complete this section is 45 minutes. Only those organizations who participate in the BCM Program Management study will receive an executive International BCM Program Management Report - BC Management's most requested report.

If you do not directly manage a program, please forward to the appropriate individual within your organization. Organizations with multiple programs (ex: business continuity, disaster recovery and other disciplines managed independently from one another) are encouraged to have multiple professionals respond. Data collected will be assessed individually as well as within groups from organizations (if the organization name is noted). Be sure to include your email address to receive your complimentary International BCM Program Management Report.

Custom Benchmarking

BC Management offers customized benchmarking reports on business continuity programs and compensation. The reports can be customized specific to each client's criteria, which may include industry, revenues, locations, employees and much more. This service provides a unique understanding on how your business continuity program and compensation compares to competitors and other similar organizations. More importantly, our customized reports assist business continuity, disaster recovery, risk management and emergency management professionals in building business cases to elevate their organization's program.

The strength behind BC Management's custom reporting is the quality and depth of the data; data that is unavailable from any other source. Since 2001 BC Management has released an International Business Continuity Management Survey, which is used to gather data from business continuity professionals worldwide. Coupled with the strength of our proprietary information, we have partnered with a leader in survey and reporting technology to significantly enhance the sophistication of the analysis we are able to provide. BC Management has been offering this unique service since 2005; however, it wasn't until recently that we made a commitment to expand upon the scope and complexity of this one-of-a-kind benchmarking service.

Please contact BC Management for further information at (714) 843-5470 or info@bcmanagement.com.

"I found BC Management's benchmarking report to be quite valuable. It gave our organization a look behind the scenes on what our competitors are doing with their BCM programs in regards to budget, headcount, reporting structures as well as vendor utilization on an undisclosed, proprietary basis. To my knowledge, no one else is providing this type of service to assist in elevating the internal program planning efforts and the profession as a whole."
VP, Business Continuity - Financial Services

"BC Management's Benchmarking studies were extremely helpful in comparing our BCM program to our competitors or other "like" companies. We really appreciated all the help and wisdom and we were extremely grateful for their expertise. As a result, we were able to double our staff."
Director, BCP - Healthcare Organization

Complimentary Reports

BC Management strives to educate the BC profession by developing annual compensation and program benchmarking reports. These complimentary reports have been published on an annual basis since 2001. The data used in these reports have been collected via an on-line, confidential survey that is distributed to continuity professionals on a worldwide basis. We have found the compensation reports to be incredibly helpful in assessing compensations for new hires as well as retaining top continuity professionals. The program benchmarking reports have been invaluable to continuity professionals in assessing budgets, dedicated continuity personnel as well as benchmarking their overall continuity program on industry trends.

Benchmarking Board

As a part of BC Management's commitment to providing leading compensation and continuity program benchmarking reports, we are pleased to announce the formation of the BC Management International Benchmarking Advisory Board. Our board is composed of thought leaders worldwide encompassing not only business continuity, but also risk management, emergency management, high availability and environmental health and safety.

We have tasked our board to review BC Management's annual survey to ensure that it reflects the current trends of the business continuity community and accommodates the needs of the profession internationally. Significant changes have been made to BC Management's annual survey as a result of our board's participation. For that reason, we expect that continuity professionals will have a unique opportunity to properly assess their program against those of similar organizations, thus utilizing the data to elevate their continuity planning initiatives.

BC Management would like to recognize and thank our board for their notable contributions.
