Not being first in line when continuity planning decisions are made
The situation this course is for
High-performing engineering managers often find themselves sidelined during business continuity planning, even though their teams are on the front lines during disruptions. Without formal recognition as the continuity expert, influence stays project-bound and reactive.
Who this is for
Senior engineering managers in regulated industrial environments who lead multidisciplinary teams and own system uptime under pressure
Who this is not for
Entry-level engineers, IT-only continuity planners, or consultants without plant-floor experience
What you walk away with
- Lead ISO 22301 readiness assessments without external consultants
- Own the development of site-specific business continuity plans aligned to engineering operations
- Respond confidently to auditor inquiries with proper evidence mapping
- Build repeatable incident escalation playbooks tailored to chemical manufacturing environments
- Establish yourself as the first call during operational disruptions
