A: Well, right, let’s move to our next order of busi-
ness, as many of you are aware, in recent weeks
there has been a lot of media coverage 1 surround-
ing this bird flu issue. And it’s come to my atten-
tion that our company lacks any sort of bird flu
contingency 2 plan.
B: Basically, we need to come up with a clear plan;
we need to outline specific actions that our com-
pany can take to maintain critical business func-
tions in case a pandemic strikes.
A: So, what I’d like to do is: first appoint someone to
look after drafting our plan; Ralph, I’d like you to
head up this project.
C: Sure, no problem. What issues do you want me
to consider?
B: Well, let’s see, there are a few points we need to
be thinking about. . . first, I’ll need you to analyze 3
our numbers and figure out what kind of financial
impact an outbreak might have.
A: You’ll also need to think about how we can avoid
any of our employees getting infected; think of
ways to reduce employee-customer contact, per-
haps 5 some IT solutions that will allow our people
to work from home.
C: I guess you’ll need me to forecast employee ab-
sences as well, right? And I’ll think about the im-
pact 4 this will have on our clients. Hey, what about
vaccines 6?Should we be thinking about getting
vaccines for our employees?
A: Exactly right. So, I’ll leave this to you, and we’ll
review the draft plan in two weeks. Okay, so, any-
one want to order some KFC for lunch?
