BCAW 2011 - Business Continuity Awareness Week - March 21-25 Building Resilience to Protect Value and Reputation

Welcome to the Business Continuity Awareness Week Groupsite.

About Business Continuity Awareness Week - March 21-25, 2011 (see Calendar below for upcoming events)

This year DRIE, CCEP, BCI Canada, Canadian Red Cross and DRI Canada are again teaming up to promote Business Continuity Awareness Week (BCAW). BCAW's have been organized internationally since 2005 to raise awareness and enhance the ability of all types of organizations to practice Business Continuity Management (BCM). The Theme for 2011 is:

"building RESILIENCE to protect value and reputation."

"Resilience is not about preventing disruptions. Business continuity incidents are, by their nature, largely unpredictable. Resilience is the ability to absorb, respond and recover from disruptions."

BCAW is an ideal stimulus for educating organizations on the importance of business continuity planning, by sharing experiences, knowledge and best practices. By working together we can be better prepared to handle adversity when it arises. This site is a public meeting place that provides BCAW members with a shared calendar , discussion forums , member profiles , photo gallery , file storage and more. We encourage you to upload your photo, complete your profile and participate actively! Let us know right here what you are doing for Business Continuity Awareness Week. Check out our Toolkit below for materials to assists in promoting Business Continuity within your organization!
