Be prepared for events that might threaten your business. Get the tools, knowledge and skills required to implement a business continuity management system in your organisation.
Organisations worldwide are facing a new risk reality – be it from natural or man made incidents. Having a robust business continuity management system is now recognised globally by many organisations as a key component in their risk management framework.
This classroom course provides you with crucial knowledge on BS 25999 and is targeted towards managers and professionals working with business continuity management, risk management or operational excellence.
What are the benefits
Applying business continuity management, based on BS 25999, to your organisation can help you get a competitive advantage, benefit your reputation and contribute to continual business improvement.
Working through the business continuity process creates a clear overview of how the entire organisation operates. Although the process is looking at potential points of failure it can also be an excellent opportunity to enhance service levels and improve processes within the organisation that benefit customer service.
After the course you are able to evaluate your own organisation’s level of preparedness to business interruptions and establish necessary controls in order to cope with future crises.
How we can help you
The course explains the different stages when implementing a business continuity management system. Participants learn the requirements of the standard as well as how to:
• plan the system
• implement BS 25999 in their organisation
• conduct a business impact analysis
• create contingency solutions
• respond when a critical situation occurs
• regularly review and improve the system
The BS 25999 training course is highly interactive with emphasis on active involvement of participants in groupwork, brainstorming sessions, quizzes, reflection exercises, experience sharing and discussions of real life examples.
In total this helps the participants assimilate and consolidate their understanding of the business continuity management standard and its application. You are evaluated through a series of continuous assessments during the course followed by a written exam to test your achievement of the learning objectives.
