Pleased to Meet You – Collaboration Tools for your Business Continuity Program

Working together to develop, implement and maintain a business continuity management program is a challenge for staff in any organization.  Many people must collaborate to produce integrated procedures and policies that will guard the organization from harm – and are likely to work when needed.

This session will examine the evolving world of collaboration tools that can be used effectively and pragmatically to promote and ease the collaboration necessary for the program.  Collaboration is more than just communication.

The need, opportunities, benefits, and costs of a wide range of collaboration tools will be presented. Specific examples of tools used in business continuity management programs will validate the theory of collaboration.  Tools discussed will range from video conferencing to SharePoint to wikis to discussion forums.

  1. Why is effective collaboration such a key part of your program?
  2. What are benefits of collaboration tools? The pitfalls?
  3. What collaboration tools make sense for business continuity management?
  4. Real life examples of the use of collaboration tools
  5. What is the cost?
