5 Business Continuity Business Resilience: Post Christchurch There are a number of risks that affect business continuity and resilience including disruptions to computer systems, problems with third party suppliers and natural disasters such as the Canterbury earthquakes. How can you and your organisation prepare yourselves to reduce and mitigate these risks? The Business Continuity Conference has been extended into a two day event for the first time to explore key learnings from the recent Canterbury earthquakes. This conference offers recent case studies from several Christchurch-based organisations who will share their stories regarding how they coped with these natural disasters and the continuing challenges they present. Participate in a 2 hour interactive business continuity exercise based around the simulation of an overwhelming natural disaster and learn how to actively prepare yourself and your business for the magnitude of the resulting challenges. I look forward to welcoming you to our Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Conference, taking place 22 & 23 August, at the Amora Hotel in Wellington.
