Disaster recovery and business continuity planning are processes that help organizations prepare for disruptive events - whether an event might be a hurricane or simply a power outage caused by an accident. The security manager's involvement in this process can range from overseeing the plan, to providing input and support, to putting the plan into action during an emergency.
ARC is this year seeing much greater interest in training in business continuity planning. In January, David Cresswell delivered a one-day BCP workshop to oil and gas delegates in Lagos, Nigeria. In an environment where power cuts are a normal feature of life, alongside other regular disruptions, business continuity needs to be imaginative.
On Sunday 17th February Phil Wood MBE will begin a three-day Crisis and Business Continuity programme in Dubai for delegates from a wide range of Arabian Gulf countries.
And on Monday 25th February David will lead a one day BCP workshop in Kuala Lumpur for delegates representing a range of business sectors.
If you have an in-house business continuity management or crisis management training requirement, contact Phil Wood MBE.
