Business Continuity Week success
Business Continuity Awareness Week (BCAW) 2010, the global free educational event in the BCM industry calendar facilitated by the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), took place from 22nd to 26th March and was greeted as a success
The purpose of the Week was to provide business leaders with an unparalleled opportunity to learn about Business Continuity Management and how it could help their organisation.
BCAW 2010 focused on providing virtual events and digital resources, with Monday's kick-off taking the form of a global video conference, bringing together Business Continuity Management (BCM) experts from nine countries – Australia, Canada, Denmark, India, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland UK and USA and featuring case studies from Statoil and Lockheed Martin. In addition, there were 23 webcasts delivered throughout the week, including contributions from eBay, Gartner, Norwich University and BT, among others.
Wednesday saw the gathering of key BCM and insurance industry experts in London, to discuss the nature and magnitude of the link between good BCM programmes and terms offered for business interruption (BI) insurance: a key issue for CFOs and risk managers. A full report will be published later in April.
