Unlocking Value from Your Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
June 24th, 10:30 am - 45 Minutes
Understanding the potential impact of disruption is essential to effective risk management — and that’s where a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) comes into its own.
In this 45-minute session, we’ll explore why a BIA is more than just a compliance exercise. We’ll demonstrate how it can serve as a strategic tool to strengthen both operational resilience and business continuity planning, regardless of your organisation’s size or sector.
Through real-world context and practical guidance, the session will cover:
- The purpose and strategic importance of a BIA
- Key components of an effective BIA — what to include, and why
- How to identify critical processes, dependencies, and tolerances
- Common pitfalls of a siloed approach and how to overcome them
- Using BIA outputs to inform resilience planning, investment, and risk decision-making
Whether you’re conducting your first BIA or looking to refine an existing one, this session will offer clear takeaways to enhance your approach and ensure it delivers real organisational value.
Join us to learn how to make your BIA a central pillar of resilience, not just a box-ticking exercise.

Risk Appetite: Small phrase, big concept!
July 9th, 12:30 pm - 15 Minutes
Defining an organisation’s risk appetite is fundamental to every risk management framework but it is a concept which can be challenging to document and communicate.
This 15-minute session will look at risk appetite and its siblings, risk tolerance and risk capacity, as they are all closely interconnected.
By developing an understanding of the relationship between these three terms, the definition of risk appetite becomes easier.
We will also look at risk appetite’s cousin, risk capability, in order to close the circle from defining a risk appetite to delivering on that appetite.
