The evolution of business continuity management from Disaster Recovery (DR)
to Business Continuity Planning (BCP) to BCM as outlined in Chapter One has
led to many different definitions being proffered over time. Elliott, Swartz and
Herbane (2002) diagrammatically represent the evolution of BCM starting with
DR through to BCP to BCM and into the future. This diagram shows the link
between these processes and their evolution.
