Breakout
Session - Track 2 Strategic Session –
2 Effective Use of Transit Management During A Crisis Many public transit systems in the United States are implementing Transit Management technology to better manage the day-to-day operations of their fleets, but this same technology can be utilized to effectively dispatch/move fleets to meet the special needs of a crisis. If implemented throughout a community’s fleet of public vehicles (police, street maintenance, fire trucks, etc) the stage is set to orchestrate rapid and complex vehicle movements to end a crisis before it begins. Each participant will gain an understanding of current technologies and the best ways to implement them to maximize their benefit.
A Positive Force In A Negative Field Selling business continuity planning to management is one of those topics that is never easily addressed. We are told to focus on management liability, relate stories of other organizations that have experienced disasters, quote statistics and other scare tactics or “negative” messages. If you think about it, there are a lot of benefits that a good business continuity program provides an organization. These benefits are realized even if an organization never has to implement the plan (which we all hope is the case). This session will discuss many of the beneficial effects a good business continuity program can provide an organization and furnish you with a positive story to relate to management.
Technical Session – 2 What’s Best For Your Enterprise? As your business grows, are you finding that your availability requirements aren’t as clear-cut as they used to be? Does your enterprise call for a hybrid solution of minutes, hours, days and/or weeks? We’ll take a look at one team’s challenge in delivering cost-effective scalability, flexibility and creativity within a testable hybrid availability solution that provides tiered recoverability. This session will delve into how the team designed, implemented and manages tiered recoverability. The session will also explore how multiple business partners are leveraged to facilitate hybrid solutions that are scalable, testable, cost effective and executable.
Emergency Session – 2 Risky Business – Understanding Your Risks Through the Performance of a BIA And a Risk Assessment Your CEO asks “Where are we most vulnerable?”, “What poses the gravest threat?” A risk assessment is the first step in implementing a business continuity program for your company. This session will provide an overview of the steps required to conduct a business impact analysis to understand what is at risk and a risk assessment, elements to consider in calculating a return on investment and to implement a total business continuity and resiliency program. We will review a qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and tailoring to industry specific risk assessment such as healthcare HIPAA risk assessment, chemical risk assessment and cyber risk assessment.
Advanced Session – 2 Guiding Practices and Principles In Developing A Strong BCP As you travel along the path of creating a strong BC function within your organization, you are certain to encounter a few potholes and outright roadblocks along the way. Learn some of the proven practices and principles that have been instrumental in the development of a strong BCP program at MasterCard International. The MasterCard BCP Program has evolved over the past 14 years to become a formal enterprise-wide function addressing all aspects and components of the planning effort. Learn some of the key techniques that have helped this organization overcome many of the same barriers all of us will face.
Identifying, Managing and Recovering Business-Critical Records An essential element of business continuity planning is identifying the records that are critical to the core operations of the business so that they can be properly safeguarded. Since only three to five percent of an organization’s records are truly critical to the continuity of the business, implementing and sustaining a vital records program can greatly reduce the costs of recovery in the event of a disaster. This session will cover the requirements within the first American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ARMA International standard on establishing a vital records program. Short case study examples will illustrate appropriate implementation.
