Resilience in Practice: Strengthening Your Business Before a Disruption

Thursday 5 February | 9:00am - 10:00am | Online

Join us for a practical and engaging Dorset Chamber Business Toolkit session that gives a clear look at the real risks affecting local businesses today and introduces businesses to the essentials of business continuity and crisis management. Using real‑world examples and relatable scenarios, we explore how everyday disruptions- such as IT outages, cyber attacks, supplier delays, staff shortages or severe weather - can quickly impact operations.

What You’ll Gain

  • Identify their top operational vulnerabilities and understand how everyday disruptions (IT outages, cyber, supply issues, staff shortages, severe weather etc.) can escalate into business‑critical events.
  • Understand the risks of not having a structured approach in place.
  • Identify the core components of effective business continuity planning.
  • Outline the next steps required to build a more resilient organisation

What to Expect

Participants will discover where vulnerabilities typically sit and why even small disruptions can have big consequences. Gain a clear understanding of the key components of an effective continuity approach and the common gaps that leave many businesses exposed. Designed to be accessible and actionable, this session helps business owners and managers build confidence in their ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from unexpected events.
