The Mission Statement and the Business Continuity Plan are two totally different but equally crucial business documents without which your business is probably bound for failure. So what is the difference between these two crucial business launch documents?
The Mission Statement is a brief report that sets out the way of working, ethos and ultimate goal of your business. Many are as brief as two lines. An example of something based company could be: To aim to provide our clients quickly and efficiently, receiving only respect and devotion. A business that is more focused on low prices may have a Mission Statement that states: We make an effort to provide the lowest prices in our market place such that we get the maximum market share without reducing the quality of our companies or lose the respect of our customers.
While you can easily see a company's mission statement feeds right down to team things, item qualitative and pricing, customer care goals, technology employed and market share being pursued.
Consider a company such as Ryan Air or The West Airlines which is targeted on low costs and examine it with a service based company such as Rolls-royce, Marks and Spencer, SkyLofts at MGM Grand and you can view how their different Mission Statements affects the service and goods they provide.
The business continuity plan to the other hand can be quite a long complete report that handles how your business will handle potential disasters and major issues such as fire, theft, world quakes, terrorist actions, strikes etc.
While many company directors don't like to think of these specific things happening for their organizations or believe that it'll not happen to them a Business Continuity Plan is an extremely important document to not only have but regularly update.
A good Business Continuity Plan will appear at the essential areas of a Clients, People, Technology, Buildings and Stock and determine what has to be performed for a specific emergency. It'll take a look at three different phases: Immediate action, business maintenance and finally time for normality.

For instance in the Immediate motion cycle, you will have information on contact databases, given tasks and necessary activities to be performed once the disaster occurs. The goal being to have the organization up and running, if only in an approach. The business maintenance phase will involve aiming to assist consumers in the best approach and the returning to normality phase will involve returning the business to the format it was in before the disaster.
As you can see the Mission Statement is completely dissimilar to the disaster recovery plan, but both are quite crucial for the design and wellbeing of any organization.
