August 26, 2015 Topic
The Business of Business Continuity
After the tragedy of the September 11th attacks, and the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, business continuity and
disaster recovery became an urgent and critical focus for many industry leading organizations and federal
government agencies. Unfortunately, not all organizations accepted the reality that it could happen to them, and
still lack significant attention to disaster, and accidental and unintentional business interruption, preparedness,.
For many of such organizations, there is an unclear understanding of how business continuity integrates with
other business and assurance functions, and why it should be a concern that is front-and-center in the Board
room.
This presentation will assist organizational leadership to understand the why, what, and how of business
continuity by discussing the business issues, business case, and business management solutions related to
addressing operational disruptions. Among other topics, this presentation will provide guidance for establishing
corporate structure, and the development of policy and high-level strategy, and tactical planning. The presenter
will use real-world incidents and a case study to foster a focused and cohesive discussion.

CyberSecurity & Your Professional Life:
A Value-Add Approach
Cybersecurity is a high growth field, but an inexact science -an amalgamation, if you will, of theories, principles, and best practices
pulled from the realms of quality, performance excellence, and change
management. Explore how these bodies of knowledge can be more
effectively intertwined to craft a solid roadmap using a ‘value-added
approach’ which guides both your customer solutions as well as your own
career.
