It will help me to effectively and continually mitigate BCM risks and adopt an integrated approach to managing business continuity.
I liked the training structure as it allows reviewing any subject directly without having to move backward of forward.
I am more than confident that even without going as far as being certified, I can get the much-needed BCM orientation up and running for the team and company.
I never realized that a management system can be conceptually taught without being overwhelmed.
