While every type of organisation will benefit from Business Continuity Management, it's perhaps even more relevant to high risk environments: such as finance, telecommunications, transport and the public sector.

All places where it's crucial to keep operating no matter what. Where the consequences of not working would be disastrous for everyone involved.
