Organised by: Centre for Disasters and Development, Jamsetji Tata School of Disaster Studies

Overview of the Workshop:

We live in uncertain times. The idea of business continuity management (BCM) is the creation of a strategy through the recognition of threats and risks facing a company, with an eye to ensure that personnel and assets are protected and able to function in the event of a disaster. Risk Management is gaining greater attention and recognition within Corporates and Boards are keen to ensure that the organisations are risk protected and have a management plan in place. Globally, companies are now looking to employ professionals who can effectively manage diverse operational risks, so that their employees, systems and business operations are not impacted. However, there is acute shortage of well honed, professionally knowledgeable people who can manage these specialist functions.

1. To introduce fundamentals of Business Continuity Management to participants.
