This course provides a hands-on workshop for implementing a Fast Track solution to develop an effective Business Continuity Plan for business, government and not-for-profit organizations. The course provides practical tools and techniques to implement a FAST TRACK solution to significantly reduce the time required to conduct the BIA/Risk Assessment/Continuity Strategy phase of your Business Continuity Plan development, with a special focus on ISO 22301, the International Standard for BCM.

Through the use of instructor-led presentations, participants learn how to FAST TRACK the essential phases of a Business Continuity Plan development project, to readily identify areas where their organization is most vulnerable and can be most easily and quickly protected. If you are responsible for starting a BC project, this course will enable you to do your job.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should:

> have a solid understanding of the overall Business Continuity Management lifecycle

> have the tools and knowledge required to conduct a Business Impact Analysis and Risk Assessment for their organization

> know how to identify and select cost-effective Business Continuity strategies for key business activities

> know how to establish the organizational framework required to enable their BC program

> have the tools and knowledge required to plan and coordinate effective BCP tests and exercises, and

> know how to maintain support and commitment for the Business Continuity program.

The emphasis in this course is on "getting it done". A Certificate of Completion is awarded to participants who finish the course; this course does not qualify for the BCMP or BCRP designation.
