Description
As much as you would like it, life never goes to plan. Normally in business, you encounter and resolve problems in your stride. However, would you be able to keep your business running in the face of a major disaster? There are numerous risks that can threaten the continuity of your business. Beyond social unrest and unstable marketplace, have you considered power price-spikes or shortages, denials of the site or data access, even biological, chemical, or bomb threats? What happens if a critical vendor goes down or if productivity plummets with a sector-wide industrial strike?
Business continuity management attempts to answer these questions. Its essence is to ensure that business operations continue to function even in the event of a disaster or emergency. Does your organization currently have business continuity (BC) in place; is your BC strategy realistic enough to offer practical solutions in the time of crisis? In your last emergency, did you invoke your business continuity plan at all and how would you measure its success? For those that would are in the process of preparing continuity plans, or are unsure if their current plans will work for them in an emergency, this program has been specifically designed for you, using the leading-edge methodology to refocus and enhance your BCM efforts!
