Creating a Culture of Continuity: Business Continuity Planning & Risk Management - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Continuity planning is simply the good business practice of ensuring the execution of essential functions through all circumstances, and it is a fundamental responsibility of public institutions and private entities responsible to their stakeholders. Continuity planning should not be a separate and compartmentalized function performed by independent cells of a few planners in each organization. Organizations must fully integrate continuity into all aspects of an organization’s daily operations, thus creating a “culture of continuity.”

The COOP presentation will:

1. Provide an understanding of Continuity Planning and Risk Management,

2. Explain the importance of a viable Continuity capability, 

3. Emphasize the need for a viable Continuity capability in all organizations that enable organizations to continue their essential functions across a broad spectrum of emergencies.
