This very practical course helps you analyze all the issues that might affect your organization: not just the obvious major risks which hardly ever happen (e.g., fire or terrorist attack) but the smaller risks which are actually the most common cause of problems for most organizations (e.g., loss of IT, power or key personnel). You will leave the day with a new focus on the continuity issues faced by your organization as well as the information and tools to cope with minor setbacks as well as major disasters. Are you completely confident in your organization’s ability to continue operating despite a major interruption? Loss of IT is the most common interruption suffered by organizations, regardless of size or sector, but how would you fare with other problems, such as:

• Severe weather
• Pandemic flu or other disease outbreaks
• Terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure or crowded places
• Flooding
• Fraud
• Fire
• Theft
