Effective Business Continuity Planning and Management Approaches Training

When confronted with unexpected business disruptions, investment firms must react swiftly, methodically and successfully or else risk significant financial loss. This level of response requires extensive business continuity planning to ensure all aspects of a firm’s business are evaluated and protected. A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the process whereby financial institutions ensure the maintenance or recovery of operations, including services to customers, when confronted with adverse events such as natural disasters, technological failures, human error, or terrorism.

The Effective Business Continuity Planning and Management Approaches training is designed to help business managers develop and implement powerful Business Continuity Management Plans.
