A tailored course, built for your situation
Mastering ISO 22301 for Senior Engineering Leaders in CPG and Utilities
Turn business continuity planning into a strategic asset with executive-facing clarity and documented impact.
The situation this course is for
Critical utility and maintenance systems are kept online through disciplined planning, yet the architects of that stability rarely get seen beyond operations. The work succeeds in silence, limiting career trajectory and organizational influence.
Who this is for
Senior engineering or facilities leader in regulated physical industries (CPG, utilities, manufacturing) who owns continuity, reliability, or uptime but lacks structured ways to surface that impact to executives.
Who this is not for
Junior engineers, IT-only continuity planners, or practitioners outside asset-intensive environments.
What you walk away with
- Documented ISO 22301 business impact statements tied to uptime and risk exposure
- Executive-ready summaries of continuity testing results and recovery time objectives
- Internal credibility as the go-to voice on operational resilience
- Clear narrative framework for translating utility performance into enterprise risk terms
- Repeatable reporting structure that surfaces your team’s work to senior leadership
