BUSINESS CONTINUITY MASTERCLASS
Background
Organisations of all sizes and sectors are increasingly at risk of disruption from terrorism, floods, pandemics, power failures, security incidents, technological disruptions and data disasters. Business Continuity methods have been developed as an innovative response to such threats and many others, including minor day-day incidents, impacting business life, that may have a serious cumulative effect. Regardless of your previous experience, our renowned, two day Masterclass will be your ideal choice if you wish to gain a clear and thorough understanding of how to run a Business Continuity programme involving all business activities within an organisation. If you are already are involved in Business Continuity it will provide a perfect opportunity to "benchmark" yourself and/or your organisation against relevant standards.
Objectives
To ensure you and other delegates gain the skills, knowledge and expertise to lead, make a major contribution or audit a Business Continuity programme.
Content
Through an enjoyable combination of case studies, exercises, group work and presentations during this interactive course we will cover the key provisions of British Standard 25999 Code of Practice for Business Continuity Management and the 10 international certification standards of the Business Continuity Institute (BCI). We will also explore the BS 25999 "lifecycle" components, Programme Initiation and Management; Business Impact Analysis; Risk Evaluation and Control; Developing Business Continuity Management Strategies; Emergency Response and Operations; Developing and Implementing Business Continuity and Crisis Management Plans; Awareness and Training Programmes; Maintaining and Exercising Plans; Crisis Communications; Coordination with External Agencies.
In addition to the above core topics, we will review many other business continuity issues such as pandemics, BS PAS 77 IT Service Continuity and the UK Civil Contingencies Act.
NB: To thoroughly review BS 25999 in extra depth and detail, we would strongly recommend that you stay for a 3rd day and take Automata’s BS 25999 EXTRA” course.
Venue

This exclusive Masterclass is held at Whittlebury Hall in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. The centre features a swimming pool, spa, sauna and gym. Inside there is a games bar and outdoors there are tennis courts and jogging trails. Each bedroom is designed to be a home from home for you to work, network and relax.
