Designing Business Resilience
Design resilient business continuity and disaster recovery strategies that help organizations prepare for disruptions, maintain critical operations, and recover essential services with confidence.
Designing Business Resilience equips professionals with the knowledge and practical frameworks needed to build, maintain, and improve business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) capabilities across the organization. Rather than focusing solely on recovering technology, this course takes a holistic approach to resilience by examining how people, processes, facilities, suppliers, and technology work together to support critical business operations.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to identify critical business functions through Business Impact Analysis (BIA), evaluate threats and dependencies, establish recovery objectives, and develop continuity strategies that align with organizational priorities. You’ll explore concepts such as Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD), Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), dependency mapping, risk assessment, and continuity planning to create practical resilience strategies that support both operational and technology recovery.
The course also covers the development of business continuity plans, disaster recovery runbooks, crisis communication processes, governance structures, and recovery exercises. You’ll learn how organizations validate their plans through tabletop exercises, technical testing, simulations, and continual improvement practices that strengthen resilience over time.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design a comprehensive resilience program that helps organizations anticipate disruptions, minimize operational impact, coordinate effective response efforts, and recover critical services while supporting long-term business objectives. Whether supporting compliance initiatives, operational risk management, or enterprise resilience programs, you’ll gain practical skills that can be applied across a wide range of industries and organizational environments.
