Learn from a leading global expert about advanced BCP techniques and proven methods to prepare a hands-on BCP. Learn how to improve your Business Continuity… step-by-step. This workshop follows the Business As Usual cycle, which is a best-practice model for implementing Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery processes in your organisation. It provides participants with in-depth information, examples, best-practice recommendations and interactive exercises structured according to the following 8 components of the cycle.
PRACTICAL CASE STUDIES AND WORLDCLASS TEMPLATES
Re-vamp your BCP with the latest best practice regarding threats such as:
• COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus)
• Natural disasters
• Cyber attacks
• Supply Chain Disruption
During this highly interactive program, you will come away knowing you’ve started to build a practical BCP or validated your existing plan against the latest lessons learned. Various case studies will include ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ which we will review and learn useful tactics from.
The case studies we use will come from a range of different sectors such as banking, IT, telecommunications, logistics, manufacturing, energy, government, insurance and other industries. A pre-program questionnaire will be sent to participants to enable targeted customisation of case studies aligned to your specific field of interest.
Apart from the facilitator highlighting various examples, video materials will be used followed by discussion and analysis.
Discussions and practical exercises to play with the learned material will be part of this interactive workshop.
Depending on delegate needs, a boardgame assisting in how to build winning Business Continuity Teams is also part of the course.
