Innovation Series | Instant Bites with Alex Winch (BlackRock)
BRMA invites you to the first session in our Innovation Series, Instant Bites with Alex Winch of BlackRock.
As a resilience professional at a large global company, imagine a catastrophic earthquake striking your San Francisco office on Monday. Are you able to predict the business impact felt half way across the globe in your Hong Kong office by that Friday?
For the majority of organizations, it is difficult to holistically analyze these dependencies across large institutions. As more companies take a data-driven approach to business continuity and as new Operational Resilience regulations come into force, Alex believes that automated testing will become increasingly relevant over the next decade.
Join us for a thought provoking conversation where Alex will explore how to bring dependency mappings to life and use them in automated simulations that compliment traditional exercises.

BRMA Webinar | Michele Turner: Parsing Through Life With a Continuity and Resilience Twist
2022-01-19 13:00 - 14:30 | Webinar
Parsing Through Life With a Continuity and Resilience Twist

As Continuity and Resilience professionals, we are constantly parsing through data to get insights that will assist us in assessing organizational risk, continuing critical operations, and supporting the priority of employee life safety. This is a tall order, coupled with the need to manage personal life on the side!
How do you balance it all? You don’t… you integrate and PARSE: Prepare, Assess, Remediate, Sustain, and Examine. Over the course of her 30 year career, Michele Turner has found that the aspects of continuity and resilience have been woven in to her day to day so much so, that she applied some of these tactics to manage through life’s interruptions. During this session, Michele will discuss this methodology, and how it can be used to support both personal and professional life.
“It is in the challenge, in the change, that we learn our greatest lessons”.

BRMA Webinar | Shannon Berg: Solve the blind spot: Up-level your communications preparedness!
2021-11-16 11:30 - 12:30 | Webinar
Solve the blind spot: Up–level your communications preparedness!

Communications is the blind spot in most business resilience programs. Poor messaging and delayed communication can torpedo even the strongest operational response to a crisis. Without a crisis communications plan and without knowledgeable leaders, your organization’s reputation will suffer. Yet true communications preparedness is hard to come by. Studies show only half of US companies have a crisis communications plan. Many of the plans that do exist are outdated, non-actionable, and unpracticed. The problem lies in how decision-makers see the role of communications in preparedness, and in what communicators have to offer. Shannon Berg, APR, is the founder of the award-winning crisis communications consulting firm Berg & Associates. In this discussion, Shannon will reveal a new strategy for making the case for communications planning. She will explore how to engage communicators in a more integrated approach to crisis communications, and how to bring communicators into the tent as partners in resilience.

Session participants will learn:

The five steps to transform communications from a blind spot to a core strength
How to bring communicators into your tent and reframe their thinking on the role of crisis communications
Key components of an actionable crisis communications program
Why and how you – business resilience professionals – must lead the way!

BRMA Webinar | Troy Rydman | Evolving Cybersecurity Threat Landscape: Timely & Effective Information Sharing Strategies
2021-10-19 10:00 - 11:00 | Webinar
Evolving Cybersecurity Threat Landscape: Timely & Effective Information Sharing Strategies
Cost, liability, and fear are the biggest threats facing our cyber defense professionals. The most effective tool that hackers have used against companies and public entities today, is scaring us into keeping threat intelligence secret. While the dark web has provided collaboration for organized crime, governments oppose sharing of information with other countries related to cyber attacks, and because of this we are unable to understand how our defenses can be effectively be shored up. Threat actors also rely on disinformation and misinformation campaigns. This is seen as a major challenge for policy-makers and big tech, including social media platforms. The sheer volume of data being created makes it hard to tell what’s real and what’s not.
Join us for this insightful webinar where Troy Rydman will share industry best practices and best ways to navigate around these important topics to build a holistic plan for mapping your stakeholders, communication strategies and have visibility into your threat-landscape.

BRMA Webinar | Avinash Kotikalapudi | Assessing your Vulnerability Landscape through Effective IT Asset Management

Assessing your Vulnerability Landscape through Effective IT Asset Management
With cyber security incidents at an all-time high, it is crucial for any size business to have a full understanding of all IT assets in your environment. Being able to ensure the location and isolate any given piece of hardware or software due to a vulnerability is process that needs to be handled within hours to ensure proper security. You cannot effectively protect your network, if you do not even have the full picture of what you are protecting. Being able to have full awareness around what is being used and where, is crucial for managing legal, security and business risks. An effective IT Asset Management process allows you to quickly tie software solutions to user accounts as well as to hardware like laptops, servers and even networking equipment. When vulnerabilities are released to the wild, it is time critical that you have the ability to take corrective action as soon as possible. No matter the industry you are in, to ensure security compliance, you will need to have some reliable and automated form of IT asset management.

BRMA Webinar | Charlie Maclean-Bristol: Is Business Continuity a Victim of Covid?
2021-09-30 10:00 - 11:00 | Webinar
September 30, 2021: Is Business Continuity a Victim of Covid?
Before COVID-19, we dutifully completed BIAs, developed our plans, including preparing for pandemics. Some organizations who had developed pandemic plans, found them to be useless and out of date…as the pandemic they planned for ,was not the pandemic they got. COVID-19 arrived and BIAs was chucked into the corner. Our senior managers wanted all processes to function normally and immediately, and everything became a priority. RTOs (in some cases) were not adhered to, and parts of the organization did not recover for weeks.

Our plans were used to manage COVID, but lots of organizations who didn’t have BCPs in place worked out what to do and developed their response very quickly. With the increasing threat of cyber ransomware and a push by the government for operational resilience amongst financial institutions, is business continuity losing, or has it lost its relevance? Will the job of the business continuity practitioner be condemned to the bin of history along with switchboard operators, milkmen and leech collectors?

Join us for a conversation with Charlie Maclean-Bristol and hear his thoughts on how to turn BCM into Operational Resilience and what you can do to continue to stay prepared through any impact that your organization may face.

2021-09-01 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar
Cultural Influences and Decision Making in a Crisis
Like values, a culture’s social norms provide a foundation for understanding the underlying assumptions that guide people’s behaviors, feelings, and interpretations of events. Crises and unforeseen incidents serve as perfect case studies that showcase how decisions are made. They also provide opportunity to practice decision making. Resiliency professionals can help with guiding the team to find the appropriate decision owner, mapping key stakeholders in the business and following a structured process to assist leaders in moving through the decision-making process.
In this session, Anya Fleischer (Chime) will cover tangible ways to create pathways and empower teams to work together to define the decision, identify influencers and help avoid knee-jerk reactions that may lead to poor outcomes.

BRMA Webinar | Shree Prasad: Changing Perceptions: Transforming Business Continuity Management into Resilience
2021-06-24 20:00 - 21:00 | Webinar
Transforming Business Continuity Management into Resilience

The concept of Business Continuity & Resilience has existed from times memorable. But the term Business Continuity came into the limelight with the World Trade Center attacks in 2001. It was a ‘wake-up call’ for the organizations. Despite this, did Business Continuity or Resilience really garner and propagate the terms Business Continuity and Resilience beyond the Corporate World? The answer is both Yes and No. Yes, because there was surge in the number of people taking up BCM / Resilience roles. And No, because these terms were never applied on self or taught to others outside the Corporate world.
With the world getting highly volatile and COVID-19 setting the standards high, it is imperative that Resilience should now tap the door of every household, school, college and community. The world has moved from Business Continuity to Resilience. But have we?
Join our session to learn how Resilience should be a way of life and part of our DNA. Changes in perception and shifting their mindset, will help everyone both professionally and personally. By creating the right awareness around every threat and risk, it will help operations become proactive rather than reactive.

BRMA Workshop | Steve Eberlein: Persuasive & Impactful Business Communication
2021-05-20 11:00 - 12:15 | Webinar
Persuasive and Impactful Business Communication

One of the obstacles that we face as resilience professionals is securing internal support from senior leadership. As planners, “selling” isn’t always in our wheelhouse, but it’s a skill that we all need to gain backing for our most ambitious resilience projects. If you’re looking to polish your next big pitch, or if you simply want to become a more impactful and persuasive communicator, this workshop is for you.
BRMA’s own Membership Director, Steve Eberlein, is a TEDx alum and professional speaker. In the course of delivering more the 200 live and virtual presentations, including to leadership teams of name brand companies, he’s seen everything go wrong, and has learned to do it right. He has developed a three-part workshop exclusively for BRMA members.
Part 1: Prepping Your Pitch
Steve will take you through the fundamentals of preparing an effective presentation. Par1 of the workplace will cover:
•The two things that you need to know about your audience
•How to deliver a noteless presentation
•Effective vs. awful use of PowerPoint
•Choosing the scope of your pitch –what’s too much, what’s too little
•Winning the day with Q&A
•Special tips for virtual presentations
Part 2: Rehearsal
It’s as trite as it is true that practice makes perfect. Practice before a friendly audience is the best practice of all. The second part of our workshop will present an opportunity to deliver your presentation before others in the Speakers Workshop cohort and receive candid, supportive feedback. Your session will be recorded and shared back to you with notes so that you can make the tweaks needed to nail your pitch.
Part 3: Take the Stage
Our BRMA monthly membership meeting is a great opportunity to take your newly learned skills primetime. While wholly optional, BRMA wants to hear from its members and for its members to benefit from one another’s expertise. We will give you any amount of support you need to get you over the finish line!

Alternative Social Media – Monitoring and Intelligence Strategies

One of the biggest challenges facing the security industry is the trend in users moving towards less regulated, alternative social media. Threat actors and disruptive events are being planned and promoted on sources that are becoming increasingly more difficult to monitor. While it may seem like new networks are popping up and falling off rapidly, it is critical for teams to understand what types of intelligence are available to them and how to best stay on top of these sources.
MaryJane Leslie will lead this exciting session and provide insights concerning alternative social media and how they might play a role in the future.

BRMA Webinar | Mark Pierepiekarz: Bounce Back Stronger
2021-03-31 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar
Bounce Back Stronger – Practical strategies to rapidly recover after earthquakes

The current Covid-19 pandemic teaches us that pre-disaster risk assessment, preparedness, mitigation, and rapid response can reduce a potential disaster into a manageable emergency. This is also the case with earthquakes, and when such low-probability high-risk events happen, businesses want to be prepared and resilient. Consequently, business recovery managers require good understanding of earthquake exposures and effective mitigation strategies for their organizations.

Mark Pierepiekarz will lead this exciting session and describe lessons from recent earthquakes, an approach to assessing and quantifying earthquake risks, as well as prioritizing mitigation actions that lead to a rapid recovery of operations in the event of a major earthquake.

Learning Objectives/Takeaways
At the conclusion of this session, the attendee will be able to better understand:

What are earthquake hazards?
What are “drivers” for earthquake losses and business interruption?
What is key in reducing the severity of earthquake impacts to bounce back stronger?
