December Chapter Meeting (Virtual only) - Friday December 12, 2025
Topic: Holistic Resilience as a Preserver of Value
The BCP realm is or should be framed in context by the overall approach to risk management in the preservation of value.
A solid ERM program affects both the probability of a crisis materializing and the degree or pain level of that crisis. Assessing risk as a series of silos is shortsighted and a thing of the past. What is needed is a holistic, top-down approach. Resilience, the magic word of the day, is more than BCP in 2025; it needs to be a step-function change that is cross-functional and encompasses strategy and planning as well as execution.
This session examines the key facets of resilience, risk and recovery, in the pursuit and protection of value.
