    Business Continuity Planning Workshop:

    Ensuring that your firm is resilient is much more than being prepared for hurricanes or any adverse situation or natural disaster. Business Resilience is about your firms’ ability to recover and operate again after any type of disruption.

    Developing a thorough Business Continuity Plan after conducting a disaster risk diagnosis and a risk assessment, remains a sure way of preparing and mitigating the many risks the modern business will face at some point in time. Cyber Risks, biological risks and pandemic risks, are some of the more spoken about risks that one must consider in addition to that posed by weather, natural and climatic conditions. How do you ensure that your business will be able to recover in a multi hazard risk environment.

    The St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce continues its tradition of helping members to be a head of the curve and respond to emerging issues and, more importantly, take advantage of trends and navigate the rapidly changing and unpredictable economic cycles. Development of, and regularly reviewing, your business continuity plan is key to making sure your firm is prepared and able to navigate the uncertain times ahead. This Business Continuity Planning Workshop will elaborate on how your firm can conduct firm level risk diagnosis and put into effect, some Risk Reduction Strategies.

    The vulnerability of our economy to disasters, manmade or natural, cannot be understated and the current experience with climate change, supply chain disruptions and continuing global instability assumes even greater significance at this time. This knowledge and insight must be translated to definitive and deliberate actions, to reduce vulnerability to known risks, while finding ways to build the resilience of firms and the nation to unknown and emerging risks.

    Workshop Overview:

    The two-day workshop will take account of how to conduct a thorough risk analysis of your business, and how to think through mitigation measures. It will offer hands on training in how to develop and review your firm’s BCP.  A tried and tested template will be provided to attendees, before the workshop, allowing in-firm discussion and pre workshop preparation. At the workshop there will then be systematic knowledge transfer to help build that plan.

    Business Continuity Planning is a practical and powerful tool firms use to mitigate and counter the inevitable occurrence of any type of calamity or disaster. Ensuring that key business processes, human resource skills and operations can continue after any type of disruption or disaster is vital. While most firms focus their BCP on natural disasters, this workshop will discuss a broad spectrum of risks that must be taken account of, such as cyber-attacks, biological and health pandemics as well as the impact of fires, crime and civil disobedience.

    Workshop Details:

    - Dates: April 28th to April 29th

    - Time: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

    - Venue: St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce Meeting Room, Bois D'Orange

    - Facilitator: Mr. Andrew George, Corporate Planning & Research Officer, Government of Saint Lucia and ISO Certified Risk Management Trainer. Other Subject Experts may also be brought in to provide further advice.

    Registration and Fees:

    To secure your spot, please register by April 24th. The registration fee includes lunch and refreshments for both days. Early registration is encouraged as space is limited.

    - Member Fee: $800
