BCAW 2018 will take place under the theme 'Working together to improve organisational resilience'.
Webinars will cover a wide range of issues including crisis leadership, building resilient cities, cyber resiliency, supplier dependency, the operational and organisational resilience, maximising employee engagement in resilience, the future of organisational resiliency, and more.
“Business continuity is becoming more and more important to organisations as the risk landscape becomes more complex and threatening each month,” says Cindy Bodenstein, marketing manager at ContinuitySA, which is once again supporting BCAW. “By building more resilient organisations, business continuity practitioners can increase their ability to respond effectively to disasters of any kind, and resume trading with the least possible disruption.”
