Exercising the BCM Plan

Special Facilitated Workshop Session 

Exercising your plan is the most vital aspect of the planning process and one which is the topic of extensive discussion. 

Through this facilitated WORKSHOP we provide practitioners with both direct support and materials, which will enable most to directly improve the viability and effectiveness of their Business Continuity Management process. Remember that 70% of UNTESTED plans FAIL when they are needed most! So without adequate testing, how can you be sure that the plan will be effective when it is needed most? 

The Continuity Forum will be working with David Upton of Stirling Reid, and will be offering advice in a workshop setting, showing why exercising your plan is vital, and will be using template based activities to help you to understand how to proceed with this vital aspect of your BCP.
