Potomac Forum is so confident that each and every attendee will be pleased with the information presented and its value to the government that Potomac Forum will provide a FULL REFUND for any student that does not find the two day workshop of value to their organization.
What’s In It For My Organization - Instructors will simply and clearly answer the “what’s in it for me” question from the leadership level through, and right down to the individual implementers' level. Learn how to Justify Continuity Efforts to Senior Management and Build Cooperation and Consensus with “Front Line” Leaders. This technique, though simple and easily tailored, is often the key to gain leadership’s buy-in and individual understanding of the complexities involving the many facets of COOP. You will see a simple concept that will allow you to capture, catalog, measure and report on existing Continuity Implementations that already exist within your organization.
This workshop will help advance your program with new strategies, methods and templates. Included in the course materials will be numerous Federal continuity references as well as several ready-to-use templates to advance your program. (Material is Updated to Include the Latest Guidance from NIST, DHS and Administration Initiatives.)
