Guidance to weigh up the outside and inside matters, favourable or unfavourable, that bear on what the organization is trying to achieve, on what it supplies and on its appetite for risk, and to use that picture when setting up and running the BCMS and ranking priorities. Outside matters cover politics, law and regulation at all levels; society and culture; money, technology, the economy, nature and competitors; commitments and links along the supply chain; drivers and trends that affect objectives and operations; how outside parties relate to and perceive the organization; and the channels, social media among them, through which those perceptions form. Inside matters cover what the organization supplies and does, its resources, supply chains and relationships; its capability in resources and know-how; management systems already in place; information, data and how decisions are made; internal parties, including in-house suppliers with their service agreements, judged resilience and recovery provisions; policies, aims and business strategy; coming opportunities and priorities; its perceptions, values and culture; the reference models and standards it has taken up; governance structures, roles and accountabilities; and its internal channels of communication.
