Course Description

The continued successful operation of an organization depends on senior management’s awareness of potential disasters and their ability to develop a strategy which minimizes the disruption of critical functions and addresses the capability to recover affected operations expediently and successfully. A majority of plans focus on unplanned downtime and its costs; less frequently mentioned is planned downtime, because many businesses operate nearly continuously.

This seminar examines the various causes of technological failure, the impact to the organization, and the importance of mitigating IT risk through proactive business continuity planning.

The formidable challenges facing management today and the growing complexity of IT systems that support business operations make continuity planning a high priority for IT management. This seminar examines the key components of successful continuity planning, and methodologies designed to measure the effectiveness of the organization’s ability to restore IT and operational integrity following a disaster “event”.
