People's views on business continuity planning vary from: "business … what?", "It's just common sense, isn't it?" to "Where do we start?" Join your CPM colleagues as we take a step back to consider how business continuity can benefit your unit, and how to begin crafting a solid plan. The harsh but simple fact is that there are a hundred and one things that can disrupt the delivery of service. A well thought out, practical plan can mean the difference between the continuation or suspension of service.
Participants in this session will leave with:
- An understanding of what business continuity is and why it's important
- A strategy to implement business continuity planning in a unit
- Tools and templates to assist you in the process
- A process for ongoing maintenance of your Business Continuity plan
