Cyber attacks, power and network failures, supplier collapse, pandemics, floods and civil unrest rarely arrive one at a time, and boards are now held to account for how well their organisations absorb them. This five-day programme prepares senior leaders to own that responsibility rather than leave it to a specialist. You examine ISO 22301 and the link to ISO 31000, business impact analysis, critical service mapping, recovery time and recovery point objectives, impact tolerances, third-party dependency and concentration risk, and the governance reporting that satisfies regulators and auditors.
Sessions then turn to crisis leadership: activating plans, decision rights, stakeholder and media communication, and scenario exercises that test both. Chief executives, directors, heads of risk, operations, ICT and compliance, and public sector accounting officers gain the most. Formats include classroom delivery in cities such as Nairobi, Dubai and Cape Town, online, or in-house for your leadership team. Afterwards you can challenge a continuity plan, set a testing calendar and brief your board with confidence. A CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion is issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
Resilience has moved from a technical back-office concern to a board-level duty. Customers expect services to keep running, regulators in banking, insurance, telecoms and the public sector increasingly ask for evidence of tested recovery capability, and a single outage at a key supplier or data centre can stop critical services for days. Executives who cannot explain what must keep running, for how long and at what cost leave their organisations exposed.
This executive programme is pitched at decision makers rather than practitioners. Participants start with the governance of resilience: policy, appetite, roles for the board and executive committee, and the relationship between continuity, risk, cyber security and crisis management. They then work through business impact analysis, identification of critical services and processes, impact tolerance setting, dependency mapping across people, technology, premises and suppliers, and strategy selection for recovery. The programme also covers incident command, communication under pressure and learning from tests and real events.
The approach is discussion led and scenario based. Delegates review plan extracts, challenge assumptions in a live simulation, and finish by drafting a resilience roadmap and board reporting pack for their own organisation.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
