Workforce Capability
Training & Education
Training & Education is a standalone engagement that builds the in-house capability your continuity, crisis, and emergency-response plans assume — from executive awareness through practitioner certification preparation. Commissioned independently or alongside any other service line.
Why It Matters
A plan only works if the people running it have been trained to run it.
Plans assume competence. They assume the CMT chair knows what a declaration looks like, the BCP coordinator knows how to update the BIA after a reorg, the floor supervisor knows what their role on the response flip-chart actually means. Those assumptions break the first time a real event tests them. Training & Education closes the gap with role-based curriculum — calibrated to your plans, your scenarios, and your team — so capability stays inside the company instead of walking out with the consultant.
What's Included
Scope of engagement
- Executive awareness briefings — board, C-suite, and CMT orientation to BCM, Crisis, and ERM obligations
- Practitioner workshops — BIA facilitation, plan authoring, exercise design, and AAR methodology
- Role-specific training for CMT members, BCP coordinators, and ER team leads
- Frontline and shift-level Emergency Response training tied to your flip-charts and drills
- Certification preparation support — MBCP, CBCP, CBCI, and ISO 22301 Lead Implementer / Lead Auditor pathways
- Custom curriculum development — branded learner guides, facilitator decks, and assessment instruments
- Live virtual, in-person, and blended delivery — recorded modules available for ongoing onboarding

Engagement Model
How this engagement runs.
- 01
Capability Assessment
We inventory current training records, role assignments, and competency gaps against your plans and ISO §7.2/§7.3 obligations. Output: a role-by-role capability map.
- 02
Curriculum Design
Role-based curriculum gets built from your actual plans — not generic templates. Executive, practitioner, and frontline tracks each have their own scope, depth, and assessment.
- 03
Deliver & Assess
Live virtual, in-person, or blended delivery. Assessments verify competency; learner records get filed in a format your auditor and customers will accept.
- 04
Sustain
Annual refreshers, on-demand onboarding modules for new hires, and exercise-based reinforcement keep capability current as the team turns over and the plans evolve.
Right Fit
You should engage if…
- Companies whose BCM, Crisis, or ER plans rely on named roles that have never received formal training
- Organizations preparing for ISO 22301 audit where §7.2 (Competence) and §7.3 (Awareness) evidence is thin
- SMBs building an internal BCM function and needing to develop in-house practitioners rather than rent them indefinitely
- Boards or audit committees requiring documented training cadence for crisis decision-makers
- Operations leaders whose frontline and shift teams have flip-charts but no drill or training record
