UK business security, resilience expert to hold seminar in Cape Town

Dr David J Smith of Stamford Consulting, in collaboration with the Cape Town BCP Forum, hosted by Fusion SA, will hold two seminars - an Executive Guide to Business Continuity, and Incident and Corporate Crisis Management for Executives - on 8 and 10 March, for board members, CEOs, executives and senior managers in the private and public sectors.

There is place for 30 attendees and a nominal attendance fee will be charged. A 'surgery' will be held at the end of each seminar and delegates can arrange to meet Dr Smith for a 20-minute one-to-one discussion of any issues they would like to raise. Executives who would like to attend the seminars should contact Dr Smith on dr.david.j.smith@stamfordconsulting.com.

To allow for planning and time management, delegates are asked to indicate at an early stage if they would like to make use of the surgery opportunity or view the Fusion SA state-of-the-art facilities and meet with staff who will explain the company's role in providing South African business continuity services.

Dr David Smith is a former executive of the Business Continuity Institute Board of Directors and Chairperson of its Education Committee. He is an accredited trainer of Business Continuity Management and Business Continuity lead at Resilience Centre, Department of Applied Science, Security and Resilience of Cranfield University (UK) at the Joint Services UK Defence Academy, Shrivenham.
