Incidents can disrupt an organisation at any time, and applying ISO 22301 is what lets it respond and keep operating. Incidents take many forms, from large-scale natural disasters and acts of terror to technology-related accidents and environmental incidents. Most, though, are small, and still have a significant impact, which is what makes business continuity management relevant at all times rather than only in a crisis.
This three-day Lead Implementer programme prepares professionals to understand, implement, manage and maintain a Business Continuity Management System based on the ISO 22301:2019 requirements. It works through business impact analysis, risk assessment, continuity strategy, incident response and recovery, and the evaluation and improvement that keep a BCMS current, with case studies, planning exercises and implementation workshops throughout.
Learning Outcomes
Course Content
Taught through practice: the course includes practical case studies, business continuity planning exercises, risk assessment activities, incident response scenarios and implementation workshops, so the requirements are applied to real situations rather than read through.
The Implementer's Job
The disruptions the organisation could credibly face, named rather than assumed.
Which activities cannot stop, and how long before stopping becomes serious.
The functions that carry the business, with controls proportionate to their value.
Documented strategies, with the resources behind them identified.
Roles, decisions and communications that hold under real pressure.
Critical operations that keep running through a disruptive event.
Why organisations do this: ISO 22301 helps prepare for disruptions, minimise operational downtime, strengthen crisis response and improve resilience against incidents such as cyberattacks, natural disasters and system failures.
Choosing
You have to build the system: the BIA, the strategies, the plans and the governance around them, and then get the organisation to operational readiness. Three days. This course.
The system already exists and your job is to audit part of it and report on how effectively it is implemented and maintained. That is our separate two-day internal auditor course.
Many organisations need both, in that order: someone implements, and then someone independent audits. Tell our team which role you are being asked to fill and we will tell you honestly which to book.
Who Should Attend
Before You Begin
These are required, not recommended. This is a lead implementer programme that starts from the requirements rather than from first principles. If business continuity is new to you or your team, talk to us before booking and we will tell you honestly where to start.
