Description of Module [Day] 1 Course

You will be introduced to the ISO 22301: Societal Security – Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) Requirement, the de facto international standard for BCM.

This lesson guides the participant through the ten key specifications for planning, establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and continually improving a documented management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents when they arise.

New BCM Planning Methodology To enable our participants to understand the implementation clearly, it has been redesigned into a logical, step-by-step process. This is the BCM planning methodology, which consists of seven steps.

Module (Day) 1 also defines business continuity management (BCM) and provides participants with a contextual overview of the scope of BCM in various operating environments.

Key concepts are explained with examples to illustrate their points. The value of BCM in today’s organisations and critical success factors are highlighted for building resilient organisations.
