I was reading the editorial written by Peter Bradley in DCVelocity about how in a recent survey only 7% said they knew that their suppliers had business continuity plans in place while a full 24% had not even made an effort in this regard. While at the same time 72% said they had experienced supplier caused disruptions but still business continuity on the supplier side was not top on their list of concerns.
This made me wonder in ITIL supplier alignment to your business is critical and business continuity is one of the areas which one should be ensuring that your supplier has and is tested. So then one must ask why would a business not ensure or not care if their suppliers have good if not existent in the first place business continuity in place?
Are companies diversifying suppliers?, Lowering delivery expectations?, or simply not dealing with the issue until it comes to the forefront like the article's title states?
