Achieving BS25999 needs to be a team effort and best use should be made of the skills you have within your organisation. Why develop business continuity training when you have a training department who could help you develop the training and has the capability to develop e-learning.

The following are the departments, in additional to the operational departments you are recovering, you might want to enlist to help you achieve BS25999.
