Increasing threats to business operations mean a disruption can occur at any time. It's essential that organizations develop a Business Continuity program (BCP) that preserves business operations and build a truly resilient organization. However, many organizations struggle with the creation, implementation and management of BC programs, particularly those with a global scale.

This webinar will provide planners with practical guidance to build a Business Continuity program in any organization. Drawing on over two decades of Business Continuity experience, Michael Lazcano will provide the tools you need for Business Continuity program success. The presentation will combine the best of academic research with real-world business experience. Whether the organization is building a Business Continuity program from scratch or seeking to scale their program to a global presence, they will discover valuable information that will transform their program.

Attendees will learn:
 • How to align the BC program to your organization's goals and objectives
 • How to bring value to the organization through the BCP team
 • How the "shape" of your BCP organization limits or enhances success
 • How to ensure the success of a small or global BCP organization
 • How to moderate the scope of the BCP organization
