Business Continuity Management (BCM) is always trying to progress itself - sometimes successfully and sometime with not so much. For BCM and Disaster Recovery (DR) to stay relevant with other industries such as Privacy, Security, Information Security et al, it needs to think differently. We'll be joined by BCM thought leaders and authors David Lindstedt Ph.D. and Mark Armour who together, wrote the book 'Adaptive Business Continuity; A New Approach'. David and Mark will offer some new ways of thinking about BCM and provide some insight in to what works in today's industry and what isn't working - and needs to change. It's sure to be an eye-opening show.
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
