Being brought in too late on continuity planning, after decisions are made without engineering input
The situation this course is for
Engineers with deep material and process knowledge often get looped in late on business continuity, after policies are written and playbooks drafted. That leads to unrealistic recovery assumptions, misaligned testing, and plans that fail under real-world conditions. The cost isn’t just compliance, it’s credibility.
Who this is for
Senior technical individual contributors in product-driven companies who are increasingly expected to support formal resilience programs but aren’t structured to lead them
Who this is not for
Executives looking for high-level compliance overviews, consultants without hands-on fabrication experience, roles focused solely on IT disaster recovery
What you walk away with
- Map material sourcing and fabrication timelines to ISO 22301 recovery objectives
- Document testable continuity protocols tied to metallurgical and material performance thresholds
- Lead cross-functional alignment between engineering teams and enterprise risk functions
- Produce audit-ready evidence of process resilience that reflects real-world constraints
- Become the internal reference for how physical product systems integrate with business continuity frameworks
