Abstract
This research bulletin describes business continuity planning at the University of Minnesota. It examines key institutional factors related to business continuity: drivers, decision criteria, planning processes, critical inter- and intra-organizational relationships, timing, and consultation. The elements of the institution's Operational Continuation Plans are outlined, and the strategies and impact of these plans are discussed. Finally, the bulletin describes the implications of business continuity planning to higher education.
