The ostrich is alleged to hide its head in the ground when a threat is suspected on the theory that if the threat can't be observed, it isn't there.
Whether the "ostrich" is an airline security expert or a Business Continuity "client," the bottom line is the same: a disaster waiting to happen.
I always am amazed when someone hires a Subject Matter Expert and then ignores the expert's advice. Yes, I now know there are "experts" and there are "experts."
Just as dangerous is to accept advice and even implement corrective measures but only for a short period.

The author of this article talks about the lack of published material about the business continuity process and how detrimental it is to improving the process. Here is a quote from the article: As an industry and profession, Business Continuity has, to date, done a lackluster job of building a common body of knowledge. As George Santayana (1863 - 1952) observed, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." In the field of Business Continuity, I might rephrase this to %u201Cthose who cannot learn from the experiences - and mistakes - of others are doomed to repeat them.
