Business continuity - thought and action
"We live in a world that seems to REACT to emergencies, rather than PREPARE for them, leading to a situation in which the panic can be more dangerous than the disaster itself." -Neil Strauss, Author.
"Business continuity - thought and action" is an introduction to Business Continuity focused on the actual needs of small businesses, organizations, and communities. By replacing the worry and panic that follows emergencies with preparation through thought and action, this interactive presentation provides a foundation to begin drafting your business continuity plan, giving you the power to deal with whatever comes your way.
Eric Lucas:With nearly 30 years of professional experience Eric has a diverse background ranging from business continuity and disaster recovery to family and personal preparedness, to information technology and electrical engineering. As a team leader, individual contributor, entrepreneur, consultant, and volunteer he has worked with companies such as General Electric, Lockheed Martin, IMS America, PEPCO Holdings, as well as the American Red Cross, Lutheran Disaster Response, and VOAD. His latest project is the development of a simplified business continuity framework for small and medium business.
