AboutThe founder perspective
BCM Navigator was created to make business continuity and operational resilience more structured, practical, and manageable for organizations that need expert guidance without unnecessary complexity.
Behind BCM Navigator is Teodolfo Lavandero, an experienced IT, governance, information security, business continuity, disaster recovery, and risk professional whose career spans more than three decades.
His work across financial services, insurance, telecommunications, technology, and consulting environments shaped a simple principle behind BCM Navigator:
Resilience should be rigorous enough to trust, practical enough to use, and clear enough to act on.
01Why BCM Navigator exists
BCM Navigator grew out of a problem Teodolfo saw repeatedly in resilience work: the information exists, but turning it into an effective program can quickly become chaotic.
Business continuity professionals and the people responsible for resilience may need to work through multiple standards, guidance documents, policies, regulatory expectations, existing plans, and internal requirements. Understanding how they fit together is one challenge. Deciding what to do next is another.
Without a clear structure, teams can lose time interpreting requirements, moving back and forth between documents, revisiting earlier decisions, and repeatedly revising work as new dependencies or requirements emerge.
What if organizations could follow structured guidance informed by recognized standards, best practices, and real-world experience—without having to work out the entire path for themselves?
That idea became BCM Navigator.Instead of leaving users to navigate the complexity alone, BCM Navigator provides a guided sequence of specialist workflows that helps them understand what needs to be done, work through it in the right context, and build resilience capability step by step.
The standards remain important. The difference is that BCM Navigator helps turn them into a practical path forward.
02About Teodolfo Lavandero
Teodolfo has worked across technology and operational environments since 1987, with experience spanning software development, IT management, infrastructure, governance, information security, business continuity, disaster recovery, and operational risk.
His career has included senior technology leadership roles in financial services as well as consulting work for organizations across multiple countries.
In his corporate and consulting roles, he participated in business recovery and continuity planning, developed IT strategies aligned with business objectives, worked with third-party providers on security and reliability, and developed frameworks, policies, and procedures to support regulatory requirements.
03From practitioner experience to platform methodology
BCM Navigator is informed by Teodolfo’s experience working in environments where resilience decisions have to be practical, documented, maintainable, and aligned with wider organizational requirements.
That experience is reflected in the platform’s design. BCM Navigator uses a suite of 20 specialist agents covering the business continuity and operational resilience lifecycle, from organizational context and impact analysis through recovery strategy, continuity planning, exercising, auditing, management review, and continual improvement.
The goal is not to automate professional judgment.
The goal is to give users a structured process that helps them ask the right questions, work through important decisions, develop usable outputs, and keep related parts of their resilience program connected.
04The philosophy behind BCM Navigator
Recognized standards and resilience frameworks provide important structure. But most users do not need to begin with clause numbers, acronyms, or technical interpretations.
BCM Navigator draws on standards and frameworks such as ISO 22301, ISO 22313, ISO 22317, ISO 31000, ISO 27031, ISO 22398, and ISO 19011, alongside resilience requirements such as DORA, NIS2, APRA CPS 230, SAMA BCM, and CBUAE Rulebook.
The platform is designed to translate that structure into practical workflows people can actually use.
05Built for different levels of resilience
BCM Navigator recognizes that resilience maturity is not one-size-fits-all. Some organizations need to establish essential survival and recovery arrangements. Others need a structured operational resilience framework. Some require a comprehensive business continuity management system aligned with recognized standards.
BCM Navigator supports organizations at any of these levels, allowing them to work toward the objective that matches their current needs and develop further as those needs change.
06Experience behind the platform
BCM Navigator brings that practitioner perspective into a guided platform designed to help organizations turn resilience requirements into practical, maintainable capability.
