Being technically correct isn’t enough when your input gets overruled in planning sessions
The situation this course is for
Strong engineers often see their continuity recommendations deferred because they lack the framing or precedent to hold weight in cross-team forums. Influence isn’t about title, it’s about being consistently referenced when decisions lock in.
Who this is for
Senior Data Engineers leading resilience and system uptime initiatives in large-scale environments
Who this is not for
Engineers focused only on query optimization or pipeline development without ownership of system continuity or disaster recovery design
What you walk away with
- Shape technical continuity decisions with ISO 22301-backed recommendations
- Lead peer-reviewed input on failover architecture and recovery time objectives
- Become the reference point for incident planning across data and infrastructure teams
- Document vendor recovery claims against ISO 22301 control benchmarks
- Drive consensus on system-critical thresholds without executive escalation
