Business Continuity Awareness Week 2011
Business Continuity Awareness Week (BCAW) will run from March 21st to 25th in 2011 and preparations are already underway.
The focus for 2011 will be on three key reasons for doing BCM that are relevant for senior and executive management:
- Protecting value and reputation in a crisis.
- Delivering operational resilience.
- Providing transparent corporate governance and risk oversight.
As per earlier years, the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) central office will develop thought leadership resources and facilitate some advocacy-oriented activities as well as provide a website, forum and webinar program throughout the week.
“Business Continuity Management (BCM) identifies potential threats to an organization and the potential impacts to business operations of those threats. It provides a framework for building organizational resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities.”
Business Continuity Awareness Week is the global educational event in the industry calendar facilitated by the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), the prestigious international membership body for business continuity management practitioners with over 5,000 members in 90 countries.
