Many academic and professional service teams have already responded to the current drive to help ALL the University’s Schools, Research Institutes, business units and professional services prepare for the #Unexpected.

They may have been inspired by Business Continuity Officer Colin Montgomery's Campus e-News video demonstrations of why having a business contingency plan is worth considering.

A business continuity plan is a carefully thought-through process for coping with minor or major calamities, those #Unexpected events. The #Unexpected could stop a School from teaching students or a University service from supporting students and the academic community.  An unforeseen set of events has also been known to wreck a research project resulting in major financial loss.

How long would it take you and your team to get your day-to-day teaching and services back in action?

In other words, are you expecting the #Unexpected?
