INTRODUCTION
EuroMaTech is pleased to present their inaugural Business Continuity Management and Scenario Planning programme. This dynamic 5-day intensive event will cover all major aspects of effective Business Continuity Management for corporations and government organisations regardless of size or sector. Importantly the programme will also incorporate the new ISO Business Continuity Standard 22301/2012 which will now replace BS25999-2.
BCM is now regarded as a holistic corporate business activity that the business owns and drives and is applicable to all organisations. BCM can provide the strategic and operational framework to review the way it provides its products and services and increase its resilience to disruption, interruption or loss when an incident or a crisis occurs. The key to a successful recovery is time. The organisation which recovers in the shortest possible time will mitigate its losses to the optimum.
Scenario Planning has recently gained much adherence in industry and military for developing effective Strategic and BCM capabilities. Above all, it is a tool for collective learning, reframing perceptions and managing uncertainty. This programme will ensure your decision makers choose the correct outcomes, not by looking at the multitude of possible scenarios but based on the loss or unavailability of key resources, regardless of the circumstances.
