Ask the Expert: Common Challenges in BC Implementation, Update & Continuous Improvement
Please note that this event is only for BCI Corporate Members. Please login to register for this event.
This interactive “Ask the Expert” session is designed to unpack the real-world challenges BC practitioners face across the lifecycle of their programmes: from initial implementation through to periodic updates and ongoing continuous improvement.
Rather than focusing purely on theory, this session centres on the practitioner experience. What happens when frameworks meet organisational complexity? Where do programmes lose momentum after initial rollout? How do you keep plans relevant in a fast-changing risk landscape, while balancing limited time, resources, and stakeholder buy-in?
Together, we will explore The BC Implementation Gap: Where Programs Fail Before They Start.
- Challenge 1: Getting & Keeping Senior Buy-In
- Challenge 2: Keeping Plans Current & Fit for Purpose
- Challenge 3: Exercising That Actually Tests Resilience
- Challenge 4: Cross-Functional Engagement & Stakeholder Fatigue
- Challenge 5: Resource Constraints & Capability Building
- And finally: Building a Continuous Improvement Cycle
This is a collaborative session where participants are encouraged to bring their own challenges, questions, and insights. Through open discussion and expert guidance, the session aims to surface practical solutions, shared experiences, and actionable approaches that can strengthen BC programmes at every stage of maturity.
We look forward to welcoming you.
