Business Continuity Manager of the Year
This award is for the individual judged to have demonstrated exceptional
achievement in the role of business continuity manager. The individual
should have at least five years’ experience and be fully employed
in business continuity management. He or she will be judged on both
their experience and understanding of business continuity and resilience
issues, and on their professional influence within the industry. Among
the qualities judges will score highly are innovation within business
continuity management, commitment to business continuity practices,
and demonstrable strategic thinking. The 2,000 word entry should include
a brief description of the company’s business continuity philosophy,
together with the candidate’s involvement in its development and implementation;
and an explanation of the innovative and creative ideas that have
been used by the candidate to resolve problems within the organisation
in establishing and developing an effective business continuity programme.
