About Inner Sydney Voice
Inner Sydney Voice is the peak regional social development agency for Central, Eastern, Inner West, and Southern Sydney. We resource, represent, and advocate for and with people, their communities, and their organisations. As part of our commitment to building resilient and well-governed community organisations, we are hosting a crucial workshop on Business Continuity and Risk Management Planning.
The Importance of Risk and Business Continuity Planning
In 2018, Dr. Gary Jacobson was working with an organisation to develop a risk plan and suggested that the risk of a pandemic be included. At the time, it was dismissed as an unlikely scenario, while cyber threats and reputational risks dominated discussions. The rest, as we now know, is history.
Risk management and business continuity planning are about being prepared for whatever may come. Whether it’s a global pandemic, a cyberattack, or a financial downturn, organisations must have strategies in place to navigate crises effectively.
