Applied Organisational Resilience: Crisis, Continuity and Security Management unit (JNB262)

Introduction

This unit is designed to provide students with an overview of the three key domains of organisational resilience - crisis management, business continuity management and protective security. Any organisation that looks to manage business risk needs to have a focus on these domains of expertise and they have arguably never been more important. Risks in these areas are cascading, merging and being managed more frequently. Security risks such influenced by geopolitical issues and cyber-security challenges are becoming more prominent. The unit describes the theoretical and conceptual basis for the key pillars , but also has a strong practical component. Students will learn the basic structures and applications of crisis management teams during a crisis, develop a business impact assessment and a threat and vulnerability assessment (for a protective security situation). The learning assessments are focused around the application of these skills in maritime and logistics organisations, but can be applied to any modern organisation that faces an array of enterprise risk.
