Title:

202: Creating a Culture for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning

Speaker: Edward Goldberg
Stream: The Human Element
Time: 10:45 - 11:45 AM (EST)
   
Description
Organizations change often, but without ongoing effort by BC/DR leadership, plans become stale. Absent an ongoing BC/DR strategic and tactical mindset, BC planning is a periodic activity that, at best, takes a snapshot of readiness and creates plans in a vacuum. This session describes how to align an organization’s culture with BC/DR for sustainable results.
