Embedding digital communications into your business continuity plan

Webinar Overview

As part of BCI's Education Month, we developed this webinar in conjunction to look at how digital communications can be embedded into your business continuity plan.

We are joined by Tim Lloyd, a digital communications specialist with a background in journalism and government communications. He is the Managing Director of Social Simulator, a company dedicated to giving your team practical, behind-closed-doors experience of handling a crisis situation.

• A discussion around which communication channels are appropriate in crisis situations, with a quick look at WhatsApp.
• An exploration into the gap between business continuity plans and an organisation's capacity to deliver them.
• How interest in business continuity training and simulations have changed following the pandemic.
