Developing Business Continuity Strategy

Description

This is a 1-day course that describes the essential elements of developing a Business Continuity Strategy and planning for its implementation. It covers Business Impact Analysis, Risk Assessment, and Key Business Continuity Strategies for various industries like Manufacturing, Finance, Retail, BPOs, etc.

Today's organizations operate in an environment that is increasingly Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear and Incomprehensible (BANI). Traditional business continuity planning is no longer sufficient.
Organizations must now prepare for simultaneous disruptions—including ransomware attacks, AI-enabled fraud, cloud outages, supply chain failures, geopolitical conflicts, climate-related disasters, workforce shortages and regulatory pressures.

This highly interactive executive workshop equips leaders with a practical methodology for designing modern Business Continuity Strategies aligned with ISO 22301, DRI International Professional Practices, and Operational Resilience principles.

Participants will learn how to transform the outputs of Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and Risk Assessment into actionable resilience strategies that protect people, operations, technology, supply chains and reputation.

Real-world case studies from the Philippines and around the world—including recent cyberattacks, natural disasters, cloud service outages, AI-related threats and critical infrastructure disruptions—are integrated throughout the program.

Participants leave with a practical Business Continuity Strategy Flight Plan that can immediately be applied within their organizations.
