Tuesday, May 17, 2016	1:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M.	Risk-based Plans:  The Benefits of a Timely  Risk Assessment	In many organizations, plans have evolved in response to legislation - or based on 'gut feel'.   Recent planning experience in our organization has demonstrated that a timely risk assessment can help focus the mitigation and preparation measures and ensure the plan more effectively addresses the actual needs of the organization.  A risk assessment can save you time & money.  About 10 years ago we applied 'gut feel' to write a pandemic plan in contrast to last year when we conducted a risk assessment prior to the Pan Am games and focused on addressing those specific risks.

Wednesday, May 18, 2016	1:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M.	A picture is worth a thousand words	What is ROI? How can we translate that in BCM terms? When asked to illustrate the return on investment for Business Continuity, we as practitioners often struggle; particularly if our company’s or client’s risks have not materialized into a substantial loss. How do you measure ROI when you haven’t experienced a loss? – Especially one that is significant enough to grab the attention of the Board, the Executive Team, or other stakeholders of interest. Majority, if not all, of us have been in a circumstance where we are asked to persuade our company/client to invest in something they think they don’t need – whether that’s business continuity or otherwise. Think back to all the “necessities” our superiors/colleagues/spouses/parents/friends didn’t think they needed until the unexpected (or should we say expected) occurred.  They were non-supporters until the unexpected turned to reality. This can be illustrated through various means. But a picture is worth a thousand words. Participate in a webinar where many of the metrics for determining ROI for Business Continuity are discussed and illustrated using powerful, undisputable means.	Shannon Colquhoun
