Business continuity in times of international crisis

Business Continuity through Integrative Risk Management – Prepare for the Unexpected in Times of International Crisis

Background:

Recent mega catastrophes such as the cascading disasters in Japan, the oil spill in Mexico, the volcanic eruption in Iceland, major disruptions in power grid systems or security breaches in logistic processes have revealed dramatic risks and safety gaps for the corporate industry. They increase the vulnerability of single businesses and the economy as a whole.

GRF Davos encourages the business sector to increase its efforts in following an integrative risk management approach. The GRF Business Continuity Summit 2011 will update business and policy leaders on lessons learned from recent large-scale disasters and provide them with the opportunity to share experiences and concerns with other senior-level participants and risk management experts.
