The same business practices that help companies weather any storm -from market disruptions to hurricanes –also create the flexibility, agility and connectedness that drive prosperity. The Resilience Workshop is designed for business managers to learn about business practices that help them prepare for the unexpected and to make a business case for that investment. The workshop will help participants:
- Identify the capabilities and competencies that their companies will need to manage the impact of disruption- before the next crisis hits.
- Learn from business best practices and processes that have made other companies and communities more resilient.
- Catalyze a solutions-focused dialogue among managers from small businesses, large businesses and government.
- Look beyond risk to opportunity: understand how resilience tools can drive growth and innovation.
- Work with national leaders in Business Resilience, including:
Don Wirth, former head of DuPont Global Chain and center for Operational Excellence
Edward Erickson, former head of Cisco Enterprises Resilience
Mike Chumer, Director of Business Emergency Operations Center Alliance (BEOC)
David Paulson, former Director of FEMA.
