The BCI Australasian Chapters invite you to join us for a Webinar to be held from 2.00pm to 3.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday 9th November 2021. The topic of the webinar is “Developing leadership capability for response and recovery”.
Good leadership is one of the most important factors influencing an organisation’s resilience but is also a factor over which most business continuity and resilience managers have limited control.
In this panel discussion we will draw from our collective learnings working with senior response and recovery leaders to identify strategies that you can use to enhance the conversations you have with your organisation’s leaders about their role during response and recovery, and how you can prepare them to be the best leaders they can be during times of crisis.
The Panellists, including a short BIO of each, are detailed below.
