Business Continuity During an Office Move: A Practical Plan
Business continuity during move: you keep a business running through a move by deciding, before anything is packed, which activities cannot stop. Then you protect those first: the systems, the people and the customer contact that pay the bills. Everything else can wait a day or two. This guide walks you through that process step by step, in the order we’d tackle it if you were our client.
Moving is stressful enough without worrying that the phones will go down on Monday morning. The good news is that most disruption is predictable, and predictable problems are fixable with a bit of planning.
TL;DR
Start with a business impact analysis: list your critical activities and how long each can be down.
Treat internet, phones and servers as the first things to protect, and book a backup connection well before moving day.
Move in phases where you can, and keep backups and security keys with a named person, never on the truck.
Tell staff and customers early, and give them one point of contact for move week.
Test the plan on paper before the move. A plan nobody has exercised is only a guess.
