When disruption hits, the businesses that recover the fastest are the ones that planned ahead. This hands-on workshop is designed for New Zealand business owners and managers who want a practical approach to business continuity planning, built around real-world disruption, not hypothetical risk.   

You’ll leave with the practical tools to assess your vulnerabilities, build a plan tailored to your business, and respond with confidence when disruption arrives. You’ll also receive practical resources and templates to help tailor continuity planning to your operations, industry, location and risk scenarios. 
 
What you’ll learn: 

  • What business continuity planning (BCP) is, why it matters and how to apply a BCP framework to your business 
  • How to identify your most vulnerable business areas and understand the real cost of disruption 
  • The importance of preparing across every part of your operation 
  • Response frameworks and scenario testing to help you act quickly and communicate clearly when disruption hits 
  • How to maintain and approve your plan over time so it stays relevant and useful 

Who this is for: 
This workshop is designed for businesses across the Bay of Plenty, in any industry, who want to build resilience and be better prepared for unexpected disruption.  

  • Small business owners  
  • Entrepreneurs  
  • Business managers and leadership teams  
  • Businesses experiencing growth, uncertainty, or change 

Sessions are available both in-person and online, with multiple dates and times to suit your schedule. 

Wherever your business is at, this will equip you with the practical tools and knowledge to face disruption with confidence and come out the other side stronger.
