Many organisations own a continuity plan that has never been tested, sits with one person and no longer matches how the business runs. When a ransomware attack, power failure, flood or supplier collapse strikes, that gap turns a manageable incident into lost revenue, regulatory scrutiny and damaged trust. Over five days you build a working programme and put it into operation. Sessions cover programme scoping and governance, business impact analysis, recovery time and recovery point objectives, maximum tolerable period of disruption, risk assessment and the selection of recovery strategies for people, premises, technology, information and suppliers, aligned with ISO 22301 and ISO 22313.
You then write incident response and recovery plans, set up call trees and crisis communication, design a tabletop exercise and draft a phased implementation roadmap with budgets, owners and milestones. Continuity coordinators, risk and compliance officers, operations managers, ICT and disaster recovery leads, facilities managers and internal auditors in banking, government, health, utilities, NGOs and manufacturing will find it directly usable, and each leaves able to launch or relaunch a programme at work. Classroom, online and in-house formats are offered, and a CPD-accredited certificate is awarded on completion.
Regulators, insurers, boards and major customers increasingly ask for evidence that an organisation can keep critical services running through disruption, not just a policy document on a shared drive. Expectations have moved from simple disaster recovery towards operational resilience: knowing which services matter most, how long they can be interrupted before harm becomes intolerable, and whether the people, systems and suppliers behind them can actually recover in time.
The Planning and Implementation of Business Continuity & Operational Resilience Training Course follows the lifecycle of a continuity management system as it is built in practice. Participants start by defining scope, policy, roles and a programme charter, then carry out a business impact analysis and continuity risk assessment, map dependencies and set recovery objectives. The middle of the week turns to choosing and costing recovery options, from alternate sites and remote working to backup arrangements and dual sourcing. The final days cover plan writing, awareness and training, exercise design, performance measures, internal audit and management review, closing with a roll-out plan sized to the organisation's maturity.
Teaching is workshop-based. Each participant works through a running case organisation and leaves with templates, worked examples and a draft implementation plan that can be adapted on return to work.
On completing the programme, participants will be able to:
