Description
In just the first month of 2020, what are the big incidents that shook the business community —in both the local and global scale? Australia’s bushfire crisis, the Taal volcano eruption, the sudden and tragic death of a major US industry’s decision-maker and influencer, and a global health emergency in the form of the 2019-nCov.
One would need to reflect and see, are we really prepared? We mobilized relief efforts and discussed the implications—after the fact. When your business enterprises are impacted by the same incidents that shook the world in January 2020, will it survive? Are you able to minimize the impact of the incidents to ensure sustainability of business operations? How will the global supply chain affect the way we do business?
Business Continuity is the practice of instilling organizational resiliency measures before the crisis or disaster occurs. The Business Continuity Overview covers the fundamentals of Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII)’s Professional Practices for Business Continuity practitioners, Global Standards like ISO 22301 and local regulations of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, National Privacy Commission, DOH, DOLE and NDRRMC. This course is designed to create and enhance the awareness and importance of Business Continuity Management, as well as, empower attendees with knowledge in fundamental BC Planning and Management (i.e. BCM current trends, management buy-in on BCM, best practices, framework, scopes, terminologies and definitions, roles and responsibilities, challenges and key success factors in BC planning and management).

Business Continuity Managers Association of the Philippines (BCMAP) was formed in 2006 with the goals to organize forums, conduct certification classes, and promote the best practices and standards of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. BCMAP aims to address the needs of enterprises from various sectors in the country and ensure the protection of human lives and assets in the event of any disruption or crisis in business.
The group started to organize forums thru the sponsorship of companies like IBM, Citibank, ADB, BSP, ePLDT, Symantec, Meralco and Zuellig. They have also approached Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII) from the US and the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) from UK to provide subject matter experts on the professional
practices of business continuity. The forum continues to evolve and collaborate with various government agencies like NDRRMC, BFP, DOH and NGOs like WHO, Red Cross, Zuellig Foundation, among others to continue to promote the practice of Business Continuity in the country. They also encouraged and mentor practitioners to get certified as Business Continuity practitioners with DRII or The BCI to ensure implementation of best practices in the country.
