Ensuring preparedness and agility in the face of an emergency
The past year has highlighted how disruptive a crisis can be and the importance of having a robust business continuity plan in place. Like any other organization, government agencies are vulnerable to various disasters that can cause significant disruptions and lead to costly recoveries. However, the impact of such disruptions on the public sector has the potential to cause a ripple effect to large populations of people, not just a single organization.
Developing a contingency plan is often considered a compliance-based obligation instead of an enterprise-critical necessity. As agencies and departments shift to the new normal – a hybrid, digital, and cloud-based – it is even more essential to have an up-to-date business continuity plan. A successful business continuity plan can help organizations get ahead of threats and not simply respond to them.
To help you on this journey we have put together the Public Sector Network’s Public Sector Business Continuity Planning virtual event, which brings together a broad group of experts to help you reevaluate and redesign your BCM frameworks, address barriers and discuss strategies that can help your organization limit future disruptions and risks.
