Seminar Overview

Business Continuity Planning is a subject of increasing interest whichever field one works in. Changes to company law, coupled with the increasingly express requirement of both public and private sector tenders for suppliers to have in place continuity plans, impact on all organisations looking for contracts. Furthermore, high-profile legal cases have exposed significant enterprise risks and issues of corporate liability. Accordingly, when looking at continuity planning and resilience, managers must now be able to answer some probing questions:

1. What are the implications?
2. Where should directors and senior managers focus their attention?
3. What is the best practice for those looking to take responsible corporate action?
4. What do you do if faced with problems; where do you turn for advice and support?
5. What is your exposure to liquidated damages?

In this seminar, we aim to stimulate ideas and facilitate sound and thorough leadership in this field. Providing invaluable insight to industry advisers and corporate leaders, our panel of speakers will discuss legal responsibility, corporate duties and the potential consequences for directors of non-compliance. We look at a case study in banking and insurance; we review a best practice model for making the BCP a living document with invocable risk mitigation and see how B25999 provides a gold-standard benchmark.
