I thought I'd share something with you just to make you smile ... or take pity on me!
I had a meeting with my boss last week, and when I arrived, he was, as usual, on the phone. I tried to sneak in without disturbing him, but unfortunately I was not alone.
I had a pet carrier with me, and Russell and assumed, wrongly, that it was my adorable Border Terrier. At this moment, the passenger in the carrier decided to make herself heard, meaning I had to rush out of the office pronto!.
The project which launched just over 6 months ago is now due an review and update ... PDCA in practice ;)
This piece of work was so rewarding; working with a committee of like minded, and indeed "other-minded" folks to establish the core questions we need responses to from the supply chain, was fascinating.
It's been a busy few weeks at the Continuity Forum!
The new ISO22301 is with us and the Forum is busily putting our Webinars together, busily putting our breakfast briefings together, busily... You get the picture. Busy.

BANG is a group of friendly business continuity professionals who physically get together once a month and share experiences all year round via our LinkedIn group.
Each time we get together, typically the last Wednesday of every month in the City, London, we invite a guest speaker to talk about a hot topic. Speakers include a wide variety of industry thought leaders from multiple business sectors. Whatever the subject, whatever the debate we like to push boundaries, challenge the unchallenged.
On Friday 30th July the Continuity Forum was delighted to support a Metropolitan Police initiative organised by the Camden Division aimed at providing practical advice and guidance to local businesses and organisations across their area to help combat terrorist threat and boost community continuity and resilience.
The event was held at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury near Russell Square, yards from the scene of the Russell Square Bombing on 7/7.
business continuity forum event commanding the crisis management
In a few weeks we'll be running our new “Commanding the Crisis” workshop in London, it's on 29 June for those of you that have missed the notices, and I think it is only fair to share what I suppose is a little concern. It is the title that worries me.
It's always a little nerve wracking when fairly big changes come along, but despite my doubts it appears as though the migration and virtually complete rebuild of our website has gone remarkably smoothly.
