IBRS Video One-on-One Advisory 
Telecommunications & Networking

The coronavirus outbreak in Australia has certainly put emphasis on the practicality and achievality of organisations' Business Continuity Plans. As a result, Australian organisations are in the process of reviewing and taking on board lessons learnt. Businesses will be trying to ensure that they are better prepared for any future disasters.  

Organisations should be looking for opportunities to fine tune, improve and update their BCP.

IBRS Advisors have put together 7 Video one-on-one Advisory sessions to assist you in fine tuning your Business Continuity Plan. IBRS offers practical insights and guidance based on IBRS consulting engagements, document reviews of clients existing BCPS and lessons learnt conversations we have with organisations who have enacted their plan.
