Business Continuity Planning workshop series

Free workshops for New Zealand business owners and senior management

When disruption hits, the businesses that recover the fastest are the ones that planned ahead. This three-hour, hands-on workshop is designed for New Zealand business owners and managers who want a practical approach to business continuity planning, built around real-world disruption, not hypothetical risk.

You’ll leave with the practical tools to assess your vulnerabilities, build a plan tailored to your business, and respond with confidence when disruption arrives. You’ll also receive practical resources and templates to help tailor continuity planning to your operations, industry, location and risk scenarios.

This workshop series will be facilitated by Daniel Ewers, ex-CFO turned certified High Performance Coach. Daniel’s real-world experience coupled with his unique ability to teach a high-performance mindset will add real value to this session.

What you’ll learn

What business continuity planning is, why it matters and how to apply a BCP framework to your business.

  • How to identify your most vulnerable business areas and understand the real cost of disruption
  • The importance of preparing across every part of your operation
  • Response frameworks and scenario testing to help you act quickly and communicate clearly when disruption hits
  • How to maintain and approve your plan over time so it stays relevant and useful

Who this is for

This workshop is designed for businesses across New Zealand, in any industry, who want to build resilience and be better prepared for unexpected disruption.

  • Small business owners
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Business managers and leadership teams
  • Businesses experiencing growth, uncertainty, or change

Wherever your business is at, this will equip you with the practical tools and knowledge to face disruption with confidence and come out the other side stronger.
