Business Continuity Planning & Management Systems Training program

The course is designed to instill and equip participants with the competency to conduct a risk analysis and business impact analysis before deciding on the appropriate business continuity strategy for the organization and hence formulate the most suitable business continuity plan for the company. They will also be exposed to the various testing and exercising methods used on different levels of maturity of an organization’s business continuity plan program. These courses will cover the contents of the ISO 22301 business continuity management systems (BCMS) standard.

The Training Course Will Highlight ?

This very practical course helps you analyze all the issues that might affect your organization: not just the obvious major risks which hardly ever happen (e.g., fire or terrorist attack) but the smaller risks which are actually the most common cause of problems for most organizations (e.g., loss of IT, power or key personnel). You will leave the day with a new focus on the continuity issues faced by your organization as well as the information and tools to cope with minor setbacks as well as major disasters. Are you completely confident in your organization’s ability to continue operating despite a major interruption? Loss of IT is the most common interruption suffered by organizations, regardless of size or sector, but how would you fare with other problems, such as:

Severe weather
Pandemic flu or other disease outbreaks
Terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure or crowded places
Flooding
Fraud
Fire
Theft
Transport system failure
Major industrial accident
