Let's review what you already know...
Continuity, Safety and Security are the most important outcomes to a business surviving a disaster.

Have you thought about these questions....

  1. Where do I start?
  2. What would a Business Continuity Plan look like?
  3. How do I implement the plan in the event of a disaster?

If you own a business or are responsible for a business unit or facility, these are likely issues you have already faced. To ensure your business will have the best chance possible to survive and thrive after a disaster, take a look at our brief workshop.

This self-guided course will take you through the steps to create your Business Continuity Plan. You will get tips and ideas to make it easier and quicker to put together. You will learn how to successfully implement your plan and keep it alive year after year.

The following documents are included:

  1. An assessment form you can use before you start your plan and then reuse periodically to reassess your plan's status.
  2. An article that provides an overview for creating such a plan.
  3. A plan template in MS Word format which you can fill out to create your plan.

The documents mentioned above can be downloaded once you have purchased the course.

The course has a run-time of just under one hour and will be available to you for the next three months.
