Overview

Disruption can affect employees, critical operations and suppliers at the same time. This course brings business continuity, supply-chain risk management, emergency response and occupational health and safety together to help managers plan a coordinated recovery.

The five-day programme covers business impact analysis, critical assets and processes, recovery objectives, response responsibilities and incident communication. Exercises, simulations and case studies connect these topics to continuity and recovery plans that participants can develop for their own organisational context.

It is relevant to managers in operations, HSE, quality, HR, ICT, procurement, logistics and supply-chain roles. The emphasis is on planning and coordinating continuity and resilience activities; the detailed syllabus and assessment requirements are set out below.
