Still to come

This week’s activities have provided the basis for more detailed studies where we will:

• Use a range of modern and historical case studies to illustrate the changing nature and evolving practices within diverse global Business Continuity Management (BCM) and Crisis Management (CM) settings
• Introduce a wealth of core academic and industrial research findings to contextualise and chart the development of BCM and CM
• Explain in greater detail the internationalisation of BCM and CM through codified principles, practices and terminologies, via the use of standards and good practice guides.
• Appreciate the comprehensive requirements for designing, measuring and validating demonstrable capabilities in BCM and CM
• Explore the future direction of BCM and CM, including known trends, solutions and emergent risks likely to define tomorrow’s practice
