The audience for this book includes business continuity practitioners and also those who have BC roles but do this as part of their role.

business-continuity-awareness-week.bcaw-rothstein-publishing

Business Continuity Awareness Week (BCAW) 2019 on May 13th – 17th will focus on the theme “Investing in Resilience” which will be the same theme for this year’s BCI World 2019.

This year’s theme will explore different interpretations of “investing” to generate discussions around how we can best support business continuity professionals and resilience functions. From investing in people and training, to looking ahead and considering how we can invest in the future of resilience, this year’s BCAW activities seek to empower our community through raising awareness of the profession.

We are currently calling for papers for our webinar programme. Our regular BCAW webinar programme features speakers discussing topics such as:

  • The challenges faced by professionals and when trying to get investment in resilience
  • How you can support your BC Manager in getting investment in resilience
  • They many forms investment in resilience can take (e.g. Training, Finance, Resource, etc)
  • Why it is important to invest in resilience
  • What other types of investment might we have to consider in future?

Papers that are not considered for BCAW will be included for BCI World 2019.

Main Activities that you will be able to get involved in during BCAW include:

Video & Competition: Investing in Resilience

We will be asking our community to tell us how they are for investing in resilience. The winners will be put into an animated video with their comments that will be revealed at BCI World 2019.

 

Case studies: 25 Years of BC

A tie-in with the 25th anniversary, these case studies will demonstrate what can be achieved across a career in BC and Resilience, as well as looking at the ways in which BC has changed over the years. These should have an aspirational tone to them. We will start running the Call For Papers in January and have the papers as downloadable content during BCAW.

 

Case Study Competition: Investing in Resilience

A competition asking users to submit case studies demonstrating how they have increased “investment” in resilience functions or future plans to. Case studies will be published on the website across BCAW and the winner will gain a spot at the BCI World 2019 exhibition seminars to discuss their case study further. We will start running the competition in January and have the papers as downloadable content during the course of BCAW.

 

Social Media Competition: Planting the roots of resilience

Nominate a colleague or BC professional who has made great gains in investing in resilience by using #RootsOfResilience and @theBCeye for the chance to both win prizes.

 

To start raising awareness of BCAW, posters and screensavers are now available to download from thebci.org/bcaw2019.

Examining the Emerging Economic Risks for 2019

January 28, 2019 By p r

For businesses trading globally, understanding emerging economic risks is vital for setting smart strategy. Although the global economy performed well in 2018, experiencing mild growth of 3.1%, 2019 is predicted to be a little rockier, with growth reaching just 2.8%. Many factors contribute to this outlook, but the main culprit for a less rosy year ahead is rising uncertainty surrounding major developments such as the U.S.-China trade war, the faltering Brexit deal and U.S. policy unpredictability.

The Pathology of Leadership Error in Crisis

January 8, 2019 By p r

leadership-error-crisis-rothstein-publishing

Self-Inflicted Leadership Crisis Response Failure Behaviors

1. Surprise: Stems from the U.S. management culture developed over the last 40 years which stresses the invincibility of managers and leaders based on extensive monitoring and data collection to the exclusion of many traditional (historic?) management beliefs, actions, concerns and functions. Today’s prevailing attitude is that smart managers are unlikely to suffer a crisis.

The unintended consequence of this delusion is that much necessary readiness activity never takes place.

Part of the surprise crisis always brings is related to the almost immediate realization by these smart leaders that readiness has suffered in an environment of management omnipotence and over optimism about inherent response capabilities.

The lesson: The smarter they are the harder and faster they fall.

The outcome is: The refusal to believe that things are serious, i.e. not wanting to look too concerned in the eyes and gossip of peers.
