The second day of the three-day Business Continuity and Crisis Management open course being held at the world-famous Burj Al-Arab Hotel in Dubai has seen participants role play in a simulated fast-paced crisis management exercise. The scenario is based on a multinational company with global operations, which faces a compound crisis situation. Delegates working in syndicates representing crisis management teams are pressured to make instant decisions to a range of inputs, and their responses are analysed in a subsequent debriefing session. The course concludes tomorrow with a day-long workshop on Business Continuity Management.Delegates from a wide range of companies and organisations, including government agencies, are attending the course, which is being led by Phil Wood MBE.
