Comprehensive BCM (business continuity management) measures are essential for responding effectively to a disruption and providing a minimum acceptable service during a disaster. A crucial aspect of BCM is the development of an effective BCP (business continuity plan). What is a business continuity plan? A BCP consists of the processes and procedures an organisation needs in order to continue operating during a disaster and recover as quickly as possible.

Let's set the scene: you’ve identified a critical performance gap in your organization and need to close that gap. A colleague suggests training, but you suspect there’s something going on that training can’t address. How can you determine if training is the right solution before you commit your budget and resources to a new training program? In this webinar, you will learn how to determine if training is the right solution using the Behavior Engineering Model.

“This isn’t working.” “I’ve changed.” “I don’t see a future with you.” Those ‘breakup’ lines may apply to your Business Continuity Management software or your latest paramour. Not all relationships succeed. When things go awry, goodbye may be the best solution. But that may seem impossible – even when you know it’s necessary. You’ve invested countless hours and piles of capital (both monetary and political) populating your current BCM software.

An increasing number of recalls that appear in the media these days have one common factor: the companies involved just weren’t ready. A product recall can be one of the most detrimental events for a company and can have overwhelming consequences for both the company, its customers and the brand. That is why having an experienced partner, a robust, up-to-date recall plan, and access to global communication channels, is so critically important in a crisis situation.

All organisations experience disruptions, whether that’s from a cyber attack, IT failure, weather event or something else, and they need to be prepared.

With ‘A’ being the most robust in terms of cyber security maturity and ‘E’ being the weakest, it put the Philippines in class D. The reasoning behind this grade stems from the fact that they are reactive to attack using only the available tools and technologies.
