Spend less time chasing updates and more time getting ready.

Most continuity plans are written once a year by someone who isn’t a continuity expert, approved by someone who looks at it once, and filed somewhere the crisis team will never open. When disruption hits, the people responding are working from a different set of tools, contacts and checklists than the ones the planners spent months building. In this session, we’ll walk through what we’ve learned watching organizations plan, respond and recover, including where readiness quietly breaks down and why it’s rarely the plan itself that fails.
