Mission From MYRTLE

Dear MYRTLE  the queen of Family History Bloggers, challenged me last weekend at the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree!

In front of a group of 100 people she committed me to ” Use technology to honor ancestors and document fun activities of the current generation by creating websites, blogs and podcasts”.

I hesitated because comitting to a blog is like starting CPR on a victim. It is important to do but it takes an on-going commitment.

For over 40 ears I have loved to search out my genealogy but it runs in spurts. It is always on my mind but not on my calendar.

There is probably nothing I would rather do than surf the internet in search of the origin of the name Helmantoler.

So MYRTLE here is my promised blog. Thank you for the challenge. I needed it.

My professional IT background is focused on business continuity management.  Over the past 15 years I have helped large organizations survive major interruptions due to natural and man made disasters.  This is done by discovering the impacts of a catastrophic interruption and building contingency plans to operate in the worst case scenarios.

My strategic/collaborative approach to a business impact analysis (BIA) sets the objectives for timely and cost-effective recovery solution development.  Using facilitated sessions on-line sessions we work together to gather the justification for recovery time objectives. Through this collaborative effort, we discover business process interdependency. 

My methogology follows that of a Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP) of the Disaster Research Institute International.
