About the course
This comprehensive, hands-on learning equips professionals with the practical skills and strategic insight to effectively identify, respond to and recover from operational disruptions.

Participants will identify and map critical business services and set and measure impact tolerances. Key sessions will explore best practices for designing effective, tailored resilience frameworks that can respond and adapt to any threat and conduct scenario testing with real world relevance.
Through the incorporation of real-life case studies and group exercises, participants will engage in practical, thought-provoking discussions, equipping them with the tools to learn from incidents and drive continuous improvement in their organisation’s resilience programme.
