The DRI Foundation’s Women in Business Continuity Management (WBCM) presents its sponsor BDO on this webinar to discover practical ways to treat data as an asset, boost quality, and work effectively with data professionals whether inside or outside of your team. We will discuss real-world examples and actionable tips to drive insights and prepare for the challenges ahead. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from industry leaders and learn how to elevate your organization’s resilience through data-driven strategies.

Enabling your organization’s resilience capabilities can be a daunting task. Risk domains traditionally sit in siloed functions and resiliency plans struggle to gain footing across an enterprise. An organization’s disjointed areas of resilience may hinder efforts to empower employees to make sound resilience-based decisions. In this session, we will explore how properly leveraging technology promotes greater stakeholder engagement and increases connectivity across an organization. We will focus on the following elements crucial to the adoption of technology following its implementation: - Engage stakeholders through change management: Handing out access to a technology does not mean stakeholders will use it. Emphasize user experience to ensure scalability of your resilience capabilities. Training and supporting users on how to use the technology will help propel your program forward. - Always be automating: Look for opportunities to automate to improve data quality. This shift allows users to concentrate more on analyzing data rather than collecting it, which leads to saving time and resources and improving reporting. - Don’t set it and forget it: Continuously review your evolving business objectives and needs to confirm your technology remains suitable and effective. Many organizations implement technologies hoping to bolster the success and reach of their resilience program, but they forget new technology alone won’t enhance a program. Start by assessing current technology use, next identify automation opportunities, then plan for regular technology effectiveness reviews to ensure resilience capabilities are continuously optimized.

Join DRI Australia and New Zealand's Rod Crowder, CBCP, for this webinar discussing how the Covid-19 pandemic brought about rapid change for businesses and industries across the world, who were forced to implement years of planned digital solutions in a matter of weeks or months. The unexpected need to transition large numbers of employees to a work-from-home model required a major rethink to business and IT delivery models, with risks quickly transitioning from premises and office environments to data centres, networks, software applications and data security. In this webinar, we will discuss how this transition has impacted business continuity planning and how it is evolving to keep pace with the emerging digital-era.

The DRI International Global Risk and Resilience Trends Report is now in its eighth year and continues to provide a global view of resilience trends. Written by the DRI Future Vision Committee (FVC), it gives an independent analysis of current and emerging risks as perceived by professionals directly involved in managing resilience. The FVC consists of international thought leaders and experts in all aspects of resilience management. The key input is the annual survey of certified resilience professionals which provides much of the base data for the conclusions,
