BCM: The Road Ahead with Featured Speaker: Stephanie Balaouras, Forrester Research, Inc

Accompanied by Guest Speaker Stephanie Balaouras of Independent Research Firm

Organizations looking for strategic BCM standards or operating in multiple countries now have a clear road ahead. Instead of having to guess the best direction, a new set of ISO standards are defining how some of the best minds in the world believe a BCM program should be organized. The interrelated Risk, DR, and BCM standards by the International Standards Organization will reshape global expectations. ISO's global reach, backed by 160+ counties, dramatically increases the likelihood of their BCM standards emerging in national laws and treaties.
