Social media can be a great boon during a crisis for personal purposes. Just today I heard of a Haitian teenager who sent a text message to her aunt (I believe in the US) saying that she was alive but without a home. This text message could save her life as support organizations were notified [...]

As much as you might not want to believe it, or know what to do about it, the price of oil is intricately involved in how our global economy works.

How do you determine when to [...]

The need for supply chain resilience could push still-unready organizations to attain business continuity management program certifications. Monitor the PS-Prep program and associated standards to ensure you are prepared.

At this week’s Midsize Enterprise Summit, not one hand went up when I asked the audience if they knew what PS-Prep was.
