Roberta J. WittyMany enterprises have successful (up-to-date and exercised) recovery plans in place for technology outages, or for a disaster that strikes the data center. But they aren’t as prepared to handle the public communications, community/government coordiation and workforce continuity aspects of a crisis. Recognizing that gap in their overall business resilience, a growing number of organizations are implementing crisis management teams to handle a variety of crises, not just the “big ones”.
Want to find out how prepared you are? At the Gartner Business Continuity Management Summit - April 27-29, 2009 in Chicago, IL, you will have an opportunity to participate in a special 2 1/2-hour “Mock Disaster” crisis management exercise. Led by Eagle Rock Alliance, the workshop will test your mettle and your ability to make quick, viable decisions as the senior manager of a fictitious company. Are you up to the task?
