Programme application

Businesses may disrupted as a result of the disasters and the prolonged disaster may lead to the liquidation of businesses. Businesses need to redefine the way they conduct their activities to prevent supply chain disruptions, health fatality among employees and loss of business revenues.

This course combines the rudiments of business continuity, supply chain risk management, public health emergency response as well as occupational health and safety nest practices to address the management of post-emergency business and supply chain continuity. It addresses the upstream, midstream and downstream supply chain challenges during and after the disasters. The course is for organisations that want to excel in this period of global challenges. At the end of the course, participants will develop specific blue prints for managing their unique business continuity and supply chain activities during and after the pandemic.
