NORMIT Business Continuity Workshop

Description
Recent events, especially the publication of the Civil Contingencies Bill, have re-emphasised the need for business continuity planning. A wide range of incidents can disrupt day-to-day operations that, in turn, will challenge long-term business survival. This Workshop gives a simple approach to ensuring continuity for small and medium scale businesses. By offering simple, practical solutions, even the smallest of companies can help themselves to survive if affected by an emergency.
