Which objective(s) focus on the BCM activities that support the achievement of people-and performance-oriented objectives?

According to BCMS implementation and auditing methodologies (such as those taught by PECB), business continuity objectives are categorized into distinct types to ensure a holistic approach. Process-oriented objectives specifically focus on the execution, maintenance, and improvement of BCM activities and processes (such as conducting risk assessments, BIAs, and exercising plans). These process-driven activities serve as the foundational mechanisms that support and enable the achievement of both people-oriented (skills/awareness) and performance-oriented (recovery targets) objectives.

B. Performance-oriented objectives focus on the end results and measurable recovery targets (like RTO/RPO), not the underlying BCM activities themselves.
C. People-oriented objectives focus on shaping the attitudes, behaviors, and skills of the workforce, rather than the BCM processes.
