Introduction

COURSE INTRODUCTION

Business Continuity is a cornerstone for many organizations today, not only in ensuring business survival, but also as a means to identify critical processes, infrastructure and personnel that enable the organization to meet its core mission. The benefits of a BCM project go far beyond continuity in that they often include assurance of compliance with regulatory mandates, customer and supplier confidence, and easier access to credit and insurance through demonstrating emergency preparedness and stability.

The development of proven and reliable methodologies enables an organization to execute and maintain an executive business continuity program.
