Designing a flexible and scalable DR strategy
It can be difficult enough working out how to support your organisation’s business continuity needs today. But assessing the DR needs of tomorrow can be a seemingly impossible task. Economic uncertainty and organisational change can render your DR solution unfit for purpose before it has even gone live. This presentation examines how to make your DR solution fit your organisation’s needs now and in the future.

How robust is the financial services industry and how do you meet the market regulations?
Stress and scenario testing should form a key part of a suite of tools used by a firm’s senior management in making integrated business strategy, risk management and capital planning decisions. Recent market events have shown the importance of strong governance in firms. Senior management at less affected firms have more successfully established comprehensive firm-wide risk assessment processes in which thoughtful stress and scenario testing played a material part, allowing better-informed and more timely decision-making. However, for many firms stress and scenario testing is not as robust, nor as embedded in senior management decision-making. Richard Maddison will talk about the UK financial services, market wide testing plus and give an early ?heads up? on the outcomes from the November industry wide testing presenting a preview of the results ahead of the March 2010 publication.
