Reposition your Business Continuity Program | Establish & grow your credibility
Our 5-Day Business Continuity Accelerator is an interactive online workshop designed to take you through a hard look at your existing business continuity program – and lay out a plan to rapidly mature your program in just days.
Business Continuity Teams have had enormous pressure put on them throughout the pandemic – an event that has completely changed how companies think about their business continuity & resilience strategies. Companies expect more from their business continuity programs now than ever before – our program will help you reposition your program and your approach for success.
You’ll go through the program in a peer-learning environment with peers from around the world who are faced with the same challenges that you see day to day in your organization. For the five days of the program, and the 30 days after the last lesson, you’ll work together to examine your business continuity program and work to develop a plan to implement your learnings.
You’ll find the program thought-provoking, challenging, and fun – and leave with a clear roadmap to rapidly reposition and mature your program.
The program is powered by the experts at Bryghtpath and taught personally by Bryghtpath Principal & Chief Executive Bryan Strawser, a successful business continuity executive and consultant with more than twenty-five years of experience.
Our next cohort will start on July 17th, 2023.
I’m not yet running a program, but the 5-Day Business Continuity Accelerator helped our team think through how to reinvent our business continuity program to be more effective and better received within our organization.
It was amazing that I could learn so much in just five days – and then craft a plan to implement those changes over the next month or two with my leader and peers.
That’s incredible and a testament to Bryan & the Bryghtpath team in teaching the mechanics of how to think differently about business continuity – and guiding us around the roadblocks we would encounter while driving change.
Who is the Business Continuity Accelerator for?
Bryghtpath’s Business Continuity Accelerator is for business continuity program directors, managers, and individual contributors who want to improve their business continuity program through a different approach – but aren’t quite sure where to begin.
It’s also for leaders and individual contributors in business continuity who are ready to learn new skills and reposition their own approach to their day to day roles.
The Business Continuity Accelerator might be for you if you would like to:
- Improve the perception of your business continuity program within your organization
- Increase awareness of and commitment to your business continuity program
- Get reluctant business teams to the table and participating in the process
- Improve your program’s working relationship with your counterparts in IT Disaster Recovery
- Differentiate yourself from other business continuity professionals in the marketplace
You’ll see an immediate impact by applying the lessons from the Business Continuity Accelerator to your business continuity program.
This training course requires a time commitment from you to be successful.
- The training course works best when you’re willing to be strongly engaged from the start – listening and reading with focus – and jumping into action as we suggest changes in your current program approach.
- Participants have the most success when they are open to a different perspective offered by our team of deep subject matter experts in business continuity.
What is the Business Continuity Accelerator?
Bryghtpath’s Business Continuity Accelerator is an interactive online workshop designed to take you through your existing business continuity program and lay out a plan to rapidly mature your program in just five days.
You will work with Bryghtpath Principal & Chief Executive Bryan Strawser, our team at Bryghtpath, and a cohort of your peers through five lessons released daily:
- Monday: Positioning your Business Continuity Program for value
- Tuesday: Crafting an effective Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
- Wednesday: Using metrics to build credibility
- Thursday: Leveraging governance to help mature your business continuity program
- Friday: Building muscle memory for critical teams through simple business continuity plans & impactful exercises
By the time you’re done, you’ll have a solid understanding of how others perceive your program, a new positioning strategy defined, a simplified Business Impact Analysis in place, solid metrics that represent the value of your program to your organization, an effective governance approach that will help turn opponents into advocates, and you’ll have simplified business continuity plans and exercises defined.
How can you do this in five days?
Is five days enough time to do a deep-dive and completely revamp your entire business continuity program?
Nope!
But what we can do is leverage our experience here at Bryghtpath to have you dig into five specific areas of your business continuity program and then begin to lay out a plan on how to improve those areas right away.
Bryghtpath’s Business Continuity Accelerator is specifically designed to smash through any procrastination or perfectionist tendencies and actually start taking action that immediately improves your business continuity program in just five days.
Each day you’ll receive a new video lesson and materials to help you implement the actions from that lesson. The lessons are 10-20 minutes in length on average.
Where does the Business Continuity Accelerator take place?
Bryghtpath’s Business Continuity Accelerator takes place online in a private Slack room that has been structured and customized to maximize engagement with the course material and the community of your peers.
You can easily watch the lessons and participate in the discussion from anywhere using your phone, tablet, or laptop/desktop.
When is the next Business Continuity Accelerator?
Our next cohort will start on July 17th, 2023.
Don’t worry if you are going to be on vacation, or traveling, or already have a bunch of commitments scheduled. There is no such thing as falling behind in the Business Continuity Accelerator.
The course is designed so that you can participate daily, but you don’t have to be there every day. If you prefer to go at your own pace, that’s completely fine.
The Slack workspace will be open for a full month after the final day of the course.
How much is the Business Continuity Accelerator?
There are business continuity courses available online that are as high as $4,000 for a “bootcamp” or “academy”, all the way on down to free self-paced email training courses like our Business Continuity 101 Course.
Our 5-Day Business Continuity Accelerator is NOT a self-paced video course that you have to go through on your own – if you ever get around to going through it at all.
Rather, it is a group experience specifically designed to keep you engaged and accountable.
Plus, our team will be on-hand all week to help you get unstuck and stay on track.
The price for the Business Continuity Accelerator is $149, which includes the following bonuses:
- Stakeholder interview guide
- Business Continuity Program positioning example
- Business Impact Analysis Template
- Business Continuity Plan Template
- Business Continuity Program Metrics Template
- Steering Committee Charter Template
- After-Action / Lessons Learned Template
Our next cohort will start on July 17th, 2023.
What our students say
Hey Bryan — I really appreciate everything that you put into the 5-Day Business Continuity Accelerator.
Beyond all the basic structural nuts and bolts stuff, my biggest takeaway has been to rethink how we “position” our program within the organization and then craft messaging and collateral around that program message.
It’s often tough to take on this sort of change without outside validation and the lessons/experience of others – so this has been enormously helpful to me.
I attended the initial pilot of the 5-Day Business Continuity Accelerator and within a month had made numerous changes to my business continuity program’s approach.
In particular, interviewing stakeholders and understanding their perception of the program was mind-blowing for my boss and I – we had no idea how poorly our program was perceived within the organization. Thinking through that feedback and then using the first lesson around repositioning our program has made a world of difference!
Is there a Money-Back Guarantee?
You might be on the fence… or perhaps other trainings have left you skeptical…. so we want to give you EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY to put our 5-day Business Continuity Accelerator into action.
If you find that the 5-day Business Continuity Accelerator hasn’t met your expectations, simply drop us a note after you’ve participated in all the lessons and we’ll refund your entire tuition.
We’ve run tons of peer-based workshops and have found that when students contribute, they get back far more than they put into it.
Sometimes life gets in the way. If you need to withdraw before you complete the 5-day Business Continuity Accelerator, we’d be happy to defer you to a future session at no cost. Just let us know.
To be fair to all participants, we do not offer refunds for non-participation.
