Dean’s Topics

Over the past few decades, Business Continuity Planning (BCP) has shifted from a compliance-driven initiative to a critical component of every organization’s strategic planning process. BCP ensures that an organization can maintain its essential functions during and after a crisis, addressing risks such as workplace violence, supply chain disruption, and the loss of proprietary information. While many small businesses remain underprepared for disruptive events, the consequences can be severe, with studies showing that downtime costs can range from $51,000 to $1,000,000 per hour. In an unpredictable global economy, effective BCP has become essential for businesses to manage risks and ensure resilience in the face of disruptions.

Today’s businesses face unprecedented threats to people, assets, property, and information. Canadian retailers lose approximately $11 million dollars or 1.2% of their net sales to internal/external losses and paperwork errors each day. Ideal for all employees and managers, this 3 hour session provides proven best practices and procedures to reduce your exposure to these threats, thus enhancing the protection of people, safeguarding of assets and optimization of profits.
