Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) & Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
This five-day programme prepares professionals to run continuity and enterprise risk as one connected system, covering ERM foundations and frameworks, risk identification, assessment and appetite, BCMS foundations and impact analysis, continuity strategy, plans and integration, and validation, reporting and assurance. Participants develop skills in risk assessment, appetite setting, continuity strategy design, and integrated programme auditing.
Introduction
Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) & Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Training Course prepares professionals to run continuity and enterprise risk as one connected system. Participants work through ERM principles and the COSO ERM framework, ISO 31000 risk management, the ISO 22301 continuity management system, risk identification and assessment, business impact analysis and recovery objectives, and the integration of risk appetite, continuity strategy, and resilience planning as one connected discipline. The programme links the enterprise risks an organisation accepts with the continuity capability it maintains in response. As a result, learners gain a practical command of BCMS and ERM integration. Furthermore, the course strengthens risk judgement, continuity discipline, and integration thinking.
