In this program overview, Professor Eula Villar shares how The School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning in partnership with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) offers this upcoming July program designed to help participants establish organizational practices that support effective development, implementation and appraisal processes of their respective business and service continuity plans.
While this program is informed by the continuity frameworks advanced by international standards, the course provides a process framework that is adaptable to SMEs, public sector organizations, and private sector organizations currently that are in the early development stages of their continuity management strategy.
One of the ways that organizations can perpetuate resilient practices is through effective business and service continuity management, which is a system of processes that enable organizations to operate continuously amid disruptions. A process approach to business and service continuity management signifies that organizations go through a three phase journey, which include the: (a) development, (b) implementation, and (c) appraisal phase of the business/service continuity plan (BSCP).
To achieve effective business and service continuity management, organizations have to devote equal time and attention to each phase.
An overview of the upcoming program starting on 18 July 2022 will also be discussed.
