Business Continuity Management is the holistic management process that identifies potential threats to an organisation and the likely impacts to business operations that may be caused if those threats materialise. This fully online unit provides you with a thorough understanding of the concepts and practical applications of Business Continuity Management. You will gain an appreciation of the issues and elements that underlie the practice of Business Continuity Management and draw upon theoretical concepts, real life case studies and relevant standards.
This unit will provide you with the knowledge and skills to translate and communicate theoretical concepts in Business Continuity Management to tangible outputs for industry. This unit, together with protective security, crisis management, and the ability to lead resilient organisations, are collectively the underpinning foundation for enhancing organisational resilience. The unit provides you with an understanding and the requisite skills that will be interrelated with these units should you proceed further with your postgraduate studies in organisational resilience.
