Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a process that identifies potential impacts that threaten an organization and provides a framework for building the resilience and capability for an effective response. This will safeguard your interests and that of your key stakeholders, thereby protecting your brand and other value creating activities. If you do not have an effective BCM program, the chance of your businesses surviving such an event is questionable.
Still not convinced? Think that BCM is just for those Black Swan (rare & catastrophic) incidents that will never happen to you? Think again. We are all at risk. What are you going to do if there is a power cut, equipment failure, theft, flooding, sabotage, accidental damage or unauthorized access to your computer networks? And that’s naming just a few potential incidents. Business Continuity is not just about the high profile disasters. It’s about being prepared for any incident that may cause a disruption to your business
By implementing a Business Continuity Plan your business will increase its recovery capabilities dramatically. And that means you can make the right decisions quickly, cut downtime and minimise financial losses. Preparedness is the key. It gives confidence. Having BCM in place also demonstrates a duty of care. It’s a visible way of meeting stakeholder and customer expectations, emphasises your compliance and due diligence and helps safeguard your company’s reputation. An effective BCM program will ensure that you continue to operate during emergencies and meet your legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.
This course will examine the basic BCM process, will discuss current best practice and will look at a number of case studies across a variety of industries and organizations. If you do not currently have a BCM program in place, this is for you. If you already have one in place, it will allow you to review of your current BCP processes. This is the chance to share your BCM experience across multiple organizations and industries. Don’t miss this opportunity, the next crisis or disaster may affect you.
