Business Continuity Planning: How to Ensure Your Business will be Prepared for the Unexpected

It’s hard to predict what could go wrong when disaster strikes. From natural disasters to human-caused hazards, technology disruption, or health emergencies, without an effective business continuity plan, the magnitude of what can go wrong is greater than expected. Your business could be at risk.

A business continuity plan is a process for creating systems of prevention and recovery to address potential threats to a company. In addition to prevention, the goal is to enable ongoing operations and get business up and running quickly. In this session, we will discuss the importance of risk assessment and planning as well as the potential effects that a lack of planning could lead to including financial loss, diminished reputation, and potential closure of your business.

Learning Objectives:

  • Introduce the process rather than the project, of creating a business continuity plan.
  • Preparing for the plan through risk and threat assessment.
  • Identifying the players that should be involved in your organization
  • Uncovering the tenets that should be included in the plan itself
  • Review the process of updating and maintaining the plan.
  • Explore some business continuity planning resources.
