In particular I was saying that going back to his employer and doing 
something about *their problem right now* would be much more useful than 
writing a BCP would.

And if they could instead focus on solving the real problem today...

BCPs would be largely unnecessary if everyone focused on their job.

You can and should read "focused on their job" as also including "was
