In an age of agile business models, cloud infrastructure, and dynamic threat environments, many organizations are reevaluating traditional risk management practices. This thought-provoking webinar will explore the ongoing relevance of Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) and Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) in today’s fast-paced world.

Join Riskonnect consultants, Paul Cutler MBCI and Andrew Morkot MBCI for an engaging discussion featuring expert perspectives, real-world examples, and actionable insights. Whether you’re a seasoned continuity planner or a business leader questioning legacy practice, this session will challenge your thinking and help you chart a course forward.

Key discussion topics:

  • The Case for BIAs and BCPs: Proponents argue that foundational continuity tools like BIAs and BCPs provide essential structure, support regulatory compliance, and prepare organizations for a wide range of disruptions. With threats ranging from cyberattacks to climate events, structured planning is more critical than ever.
  • The Case Against Traditional Approaches: Critics suggest that traditional BIAs and BCPs are too rigid, slow to adapt, and disconnected from modern, real-time operations. They advocate for more dynamic, data-driven, and iterative approaches that align with continuous change and decentralized decision-making.

We look forward to welcoming you!
