Business Continuity Management (BCM) enables organizations to manage risk and enable better, faster recovery following a disruption. BCM involves proactive risk identification to limit potential damage to an organization’s brand, capital, functions, and revenue.

Disruptions range from man-made events (i.e. cyber or terrorist attacks) to natural events (i.e. extreme weather or natural disaster). Given today’s environment, it’s not a matter of if a disruption will occur but when a disruption will occur.

DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) believes that BCM is the continuous improvement of an organization’s recovery capabilities. During this webinar, you will learn about:

• Characteristics and behaviors of resilient organizations
• The key elements of the DSS approach to business continuity
• How DSS clients successfully managed business disruptions and lessons learned

Effective training is widely acknowledged as the key to mitigating the impact of a widening skills gap in manufacturing. Despite this recognition, the results of a recent Industry Week survey of  manufacturing professionals shows that many companies are still struggling with their current approach to training and are no closer to solving this pressing issue.

Join us for a webcast presentation on June 20 to hear the results of the survey and the key insights from IndustryWeek Editor, Travis Hessman and Continuous Improvement expert Alex Leclerc, CEO, Poka. Survey highlights include:

• What is the most common method of training?
• How many hours are invested in training per operator (new vs old)?
• What are the biggest challenges related to training?
• Who is responsible for training and who is the budget stakeholder?

The presentation will also feature a case study of a digital manufacturer who has empowered its workers by leveraging video-based micro learning and the use of tablets on the shop floor to drive better overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reduce shadowing time.
