Exciting line up of speakers at ESRC Business Continuity Seminar

Prof. Dominic Elliott, Paul Roy Professor of Business Continuity and Strategic Management and Director of External Relations is holding a one day seminar at the Foresight Centre on the 12th February for those interested in Crisis, Continuity and Resilience.

It is part of a an ESRC funded  'Risk, Resilience and Governance Seminar Series' which draws together national and international perspectives from practice, academa, policy makers and regulators.

Speakers include from policy and regulation, John Milne, Head of Resilience at Financial Services Authority, Gary Millar, Deputy Lord Mayor, Liverpool City Council, from industry and commerce, Nick Simms Global Head of BCM, HSBC and Steve Mellish, formerly Head of BCM, J Sainsbury, and currently chair of Chair of Business Continuity Institute and also speakers from Liverpool Resilience.

"It is rare for any resilience event to have the fortune to include such an array of speakers. Combined they have a range of experience from practice and research cutting across many sectors, international borders and in building public-private collaboration that is second to none.

Results from an extensive three year research project undertaken by the University of Liverpool exploring organisational resilience and business continuity will be complemented by contributions from some of the most innovative and successful practitioners and, for regional interest the opportunity to learn more about Liverpool Resilience." Professor Dominic Elliott, Seminar Chair.

The focus of the seminar is upon evaluating and implementing business continuity.
