Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how organisations manage disruption, but many business continuity (BC) professionals remain understandably cautious. Concerns around reliability, bias, governance, and professional relevance are real. This focused 30-minute session addresses those concerns directly, positioning AI not as a replacement for practitioner expertise, but as a disciplined amplifier of it, fully aligned with the Business Continuity Institute Good Practice Guidelines 7.0 and ISO 22301.
Drawing on academic research and applied field experience, Dr. Jeff Donaldson will demonstrate how AI can materially reduce Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and risk assessment timelines through Natural Language Processing (NLP) and predictive analytics, while maintaining human validation and accountability (PP3). Delegates will explore how generative AI strengthens plan development and maintenance (PP5), enhances validation through dynamic scenario generation and post-exercise analytics (PP6), and supports cultural adoption with tailored awareness content (PP2).
The session will also address governance-first implementation, outlining how ISO 22301’s risk-based PDCA model accommodates AI as an enabler, and how complementary standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 can mitigate emerging risks.
Delegates will leave with practical, low-risk applications, governance strategies, and the confidence to lead AI-enabled resilience initiatives in an increasingly complex disruption landscape.
