The sixth in the BCI Australasian Chapter's GPG 7.0 webinar series, this session will provide an overview of the sixth Professional Practice (PP6), which confirms the established business continuity management strategy meets the objectives set out in the policy and enables the organization to embrace business continuity through an efficient awareness, exercising, maintenance and review program. Trent Clouston and James Waring, with host Shaun Allingham, will discuss how a positive approach and attitude towards Validation will allow strengths to be acknowledged and areas for development to be seen as opportunities for continuous improvement rather than criticism.
