Description
Are your business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) plans up-to-date to meet today’s challenges? Clearly, at the onset of the pandemic, nobody planned on sending their entire workforce home, in fact some organizations made declarations in the not-so-distant past to NEVER allow work from home. The lesson learned here is to never say never because NEVER will show up. It also means the capabilities existed all along, but they were forced to find a way to make it happen quickly.
I created this practical Udemy course for you to understand how to be proactive so that your organization can continue to operate through a variety of threats — be it a health crisis, a natural disaster, or possibly a ransomware attack. Starting from the basics of what these plans are, then moving on to reviewing a real-world case study, and ultimately, creating your own plan, this a valuable, hands-on training course that will benefit you and your organization for many years to come. Best of all, zero previous business continuity experience is required.
My course is intended to demystify even the most seemingly complicated components of building a tangible business continuity plan without any hidden sales pitches to purchase a technology toolset. Furthermore, I added a bonus completed template based on a case study to break down the concepts and yet keep it simple enough to navigate through a real-life disaster.
This course is a perfect start to revise or develop a strong business continuity plan based on the changing priorities post the pandemic. Even if you have plans in place, it’s time to rewrite your playbook to fit our current risk environment.
Specifically, this course will include the following key elements in writing an effective plan:
Consolidating the location of critical assets
Identifying contacts who need to be notified
Providing up-to-date procedures to assist in recovery
Outlining alternative resources to continue operations
Testing to ensure plans work
Fostering a culture of resilience
It’s not hard to be ready. In fact, the only thing harder than planning for a disaster is explaining why you did not.
So, if you’re ready, enroll today and let’s get started on that journey together!
(Not to mention: this is going to be an incredibly awesome experience to complete an interesting case study together. I'll see you in the course!)
