About the Course

If a sudden crisis affects an organisation the potential for loss is enormous. Loss of turnover and profit are two measurable impacts. However, some impacts are harder to measure, but just as devastating to the ‘health’ of an organisation.

Examples of such impacts can be the ‘human impacts’, pressure on the market value of the organisation, client attrition, loss of supplier and stakeholder confidence and tarnished reputation and image.

Development of detailed business continuity plans is the best way to prepare and to cope efficiently with unexpected, high-impact events.

A key element of developing such plans is being able to recognise the risks your organisation faces.

This course will show you how to link risk management and business continuity management to produce a holistic approach to protecting the value creating activities of your organisation.
