We are trying something a little different for our May Monthly BCPA meeting, instead of meeting in person, we are hosting a webinar. Bryan Strawser will be presenting "A Program Management Approach for Business Continuity".
Business Continuity programs often grow organically within an organization based on need – or a single incident – rather than being planned and managed as a program from top to bottom. In this presentation, participants will learn how to design, implement, manage, and mature a business continuity program using the principles of program management.
Topics discussed will include the standards for Portfolio, Program, and Project Management; the strategic alignment of continuity & crisis management programs; using maturity models to chart the growth of your program, and governance. Additional topics will include business case development and program communication to senior executives and board members.
* BC Programs can be strengthened using program management principles.
