Webinar Overview

In this webinar Jim Preen is joined by Jonathan Hemus to discuss how COVID-19 is shaping and changing business continuity and crisis management. Topics under the spotlight include:

  • With the pandemic taking up so much bandwidth, have crisis managers taken their eye off the ball when it comes to traditional threats such as cyber and terror?
  • Home working is becoming the new normal; offices are shuttering. How does this impact our ability to fight a crisis when staff are no longer in the same room?
  • How should plans and playbooks reflect the new socially distanced world?
  • Has the appetite for simulations and training gone away or is it just on pause?
  • As the BCI is promoting education for young people, we look at what it takes to get ahead in business continuity, and where the industry is going.
