KingsBridge has been providing Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Seminars for more than 15 years, making it one of the longest running seminar series in the industry. During this time we have heard almost every reason in the book for attending our classes… “I was given this task and have no idea where to begin!” “We have an old plan and thought we could just edit it, but a lot has changed since 1999…” We’ve also heard almost every reason to not attend… “I was given the task of creating our recovery plan, but I have no budget!” “I’d love to come, but our travel budget has been frozen!”
KingsBridge has taken its Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Seminars online to make sure everyone can attend the class!
The traditional classroom setting doesn’t fit the latest ways people learn and we reflect this in our new format.
Instead of taking you out of your office for two days (or more) with travel, asking you to fly across the country, we bring the classes to you.
Here is what you’ll learn in our classes:Class 1 : Gotta Get the Buy-In!
Getting your plan going can sometimes be the hardest part of a Disaster Recovery Plan (or Business Continuity Plan).
Not only do you have to determine the scope of your plan, you need to secure senior management buy in, find the time to start the ground work of your plan and determine a team to help with the implementation.
During this class you will learn the basics of getting your plan off the ground and mixing the Disaster Recovery Journal’s GAP with real world experience.
Let KingsBridge help you get your plan going.
Class 2 : Threats? What Threats?
With your Recovery plan having buy-in and a team to implement it, you now have to determine what you are going to plan for.
In this seminar KingsBridge will work through a Threat Risk Analysis (TRA) and show how important it is to look at each business process as an individual process that has to be taken into account.
Learn how a good TRA will drive the process of your recovery plan!
Class 3 : Business Impact Analysis - More Than a Buzz Word
Now that you have completed your Threat Risk Analysis, you need to determine how the identified threats will impact each business unit in your company.
You will learn how to compile the BIA into the foundation of your Recovery Plan and see how the Recovery Plan content will be very obvious once your BIA is complete.
Class 4 : Building a Recovery Plan
You have the buy-in, you have the Team, the Threat Risk Analysis, and the Business Impact Analysis.
Now you have to put it all together!
In this seminar you will see that the creation of a Disaster Recovery Plan or a Business Continuity Plan is the combination of information that your Team already knows.
Class 5 : Mission Complete… Almost
With your plan written, you are now officially half-way complete.
You have completed the TRA, BIA, and Planning.
Now comes the hard part: making sure that plan does not become obsolete.
KingsBridge will teach you to take the dread out of exercising the plan and make it fun for everyone.
Learn how we have accomplished this and how you can do the same.
Class 6 : Know thy Neighbor
What does the business in that office building at the end of your block do?
Why do they have tanker trucks going in and out of their parking lot?
Knowing what goes on in your neighborhood allows you to plan for external impacts to your business and changes the way you think about continuity threats.
KingsBridge will teach you how to work with your neighbors, local emergency responders and the public to make your recovery planning more effective.
Class 7 : KingsBridge “How To’s” for Phoenix
Have you bought Phoenix and have questions about how to integrate it into your recovery planning workflow?
KingsBridge launched a monthly online “How to” session to show you have to get the most out of your Phoenix package.
In addition to learning some of the basics about how Phoenix works, you’ll also learn Tips and Tricks used by KingsBridge when we use Phoenix.
This online “How To” session minimizes the impact on your day and allow you to continue with your regular duties.
These Recovery Planning steps are based on the Generally Accepted Practices outlined in the Disaster Recovery Journal. If your travel budget has been slashed, but you still have a training budget, these classes are perfect for you! You don’t have to go anywhere or miss any time in the office, all you have to do is log into a website and dial a number. Simple as that!
