Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
The business impact analysis is the foundation of every credible business continuity programme. It identifies which activities matter most, how quickly they must be recovered, what resources they depend on and what the organisation stands to lose if they are disrupted. A weak analysis leads to continuity plans that protect the wrong things or set unrealistic recovery targets.
This Business Impact Analysis Masterclass takes participants through every stage of planning, conducting, analysing and presenting a business impact analysis. Participants learn how to define scope, design impact criteria, gather information through questionnaires and workshops, set recovery time and recovery point objectives, map dependencies and validate results with senior management.
The course also shows how the analysis feeds into continuity strategies, risk assessment, IT disaster recovery and supplier management, and how to keep it current as the organisation changes.
