FINALST BUSINESS CONTINUITY INITIATIVE OF THE YEAR 2010

With acute pressures on government and corporate finances, what action can UK business and public sector employers take to deliver safer and more resilient business environments? In light of recent upgrades to the UK National Risk Register, and as one-hundred-days of new coalition government is reached, how is our risk profile changing and what should your business do to adapt and plan to deal with tomorrow's instability and uncertainty?

Aims

to raise increasingly important issues such as legal compliance, communication and personnel welfare to security and resilience leaders
