How to Stay in Business When Bad Things Happen: Business Continuity Planning for Architects

Description: 

With the events of 2020-2021 seared in our minds, none of us need to be convinced of the importance of planning for the unexpected as Covid-19 has proved. Of course, there are a myriad of other unexpected incidents that could impact your business as well: floods, cyber-attacks, climate change, supply chain disruptions and civil unrest to name just a few. But what can you do to keep your firm open and profitable?

This 60-minute course will help you leverage AIA’s newly-updated Architect’s Guide to Business Continuity, a free online resource. Take action and build a plan to ensure your firm is prepared.
