Course Overview

Vendors sell backup and digital disaster recovery as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Most organisations now hold more data about disaster recovery than they can actually act on. Participants who influence the practice within digital and data-driven work without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. They leave able to brief senior management on backup and digital disaster recovery in terms that support a decision. Improvement in this area of digital and data-driven work stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The most reliable predictor of sound disaster recovery is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme takes participants through backup and digital disaster recovery end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Every module pairs a short input on disaster recovery with structured practice on the participant's own material. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the digital and data-driven work capability that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
