Getting assigned continuity work late, under-scoped, or without clear authority
The situation this course is for
Continuity projects often get treated as last-minute compliance tasks, assigned late in engagements with unclear expectations. Practitioners with broad knowledge but not proven execution get passed over for high-visibility roles.
Who this is for
Individual contributor in IT or risk services at a global consultancy, technically fluent but not yet the automatic pick for mission-critical continuity frameworks
Who this is not for
Executives looking for board-level summaries, or junior staff needing foundational ISO 22301 awareness
What you walk away with
- Receive direct assignments on ISO 22301 implementation from engagement leads without gatekeeping
- Deliver tested business continuity plans with complete control mapping in under four weeks
- Own the full artefact chain: BIA, risk register, recovery procedures, and test reports
- Become the reference name when peers need ISO 22301 escalation support
- Produce regulator-facing continuity documentation that clears review in one pass
