Introduction
Business thrives on instability and there is plenty of room at the top. So often it is a crisis which catapults business into the future. In recent times, there have been several high-profile corporate failures which have hurt the entire community – investors, suppliers, customers and staff. In some cases, Directors and senior managers have been held personally responsible for these failures. Often these corporate failures can be attributed to inadequacies in Corporate Governance. Principles and practices were not defined. Boundaries, controls, ethical standards and performance benchmarks were not in place. An effective Governance system ensures proper establishment of objectives, effective monitoring and management of risk and the optimization of performance.
Companies must have an ongoing business resilience process that adopts a balanced approach encompassing Risk, Emergency, Crisis and Business Continuity Management. The right amount of resilience for any particular organization is best established by a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) that is endorsed by the Board. All companies should have a BIA. Not all companies have the desire or need to have comprehensive plans but some form of BCM process is needed by all. The CRUX of the matter is in deciding what is needed and how much is enough. This decision requires leadership and knowledge which participants will gain from this workshop.
Target Audience
Directors, C-suite Level and Senior Management of private and public organisations are encouraged to attend this interactive workshop.
