Topic 1: Business Continuity, Crisis Management and Pandemic Response
Each of these activities is daunting in scope, but how ready are we in fact to 
execute all of the above at once? As we enter a widely predicted period of 
unusual stress on our contingency capabilities due to the current pandemic, it 
will be critical to manage and balance these distinct, yet related disciplines. 
This presentation will focus on some practical tactics for harmonizing the 
strengths of Business Continuity strategies and plans, the flexibility of managing 
Crisis Management processes and the highly focused responses needed to 
handle a pandemic threat. The presentation will be followed by a dynamic 
question and answer panel discussion, with the audience as the panel.
