Throughout the course key concepts and activities have underscored
the value of effective and efficient enterprise network management.
An enterprise requires a Business Continuity Plan in order to restore
and maintain essential corporate networking services and information
protection during a crisis that can originate from a natural disaster to
the compromise of network resources and information sources by an
external or internal attack. The Learning Team assignments provide
the opportunity for each student in a team context to use the acquired
knowledge and experience to integrate these concepts into a Business
Continuity Plan.
Scenario: Your Learning Team is a group of IT professionals who are
hired to develop and present a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to
senior management for approval and funding. Your team must
prepare a PowerPoint® presentation to educate senior management
about the need for the BCP and describe the technical details of your
proposal.

10. Use the International Plastics, Inc. documentation, resources used in
the course, and additional outside sources to create the Business
Continuity Plan (referred to as BCP).
Compile your outline, drawings, and explanation from prior Learning
Team submissions. These are to be used in your presentation to senior
management as handouts to support your plan.
Create a 5- to 6-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with
speaker notes that address the following:
• Provide a concise view of the business continuity plan
• Provide insights on how your plan will address vulnerabilities
• Persuade senior leadership to approve and fund the proposed BCP
• The presentation should be engaging; use relevant figures and
diagrams
• Citations must be included in each slide as a note and follow APA
guidelines
