What does the future hold for business continuity management professionals?
In the summer of 2016 the BCI and PwC came together to tackle a question that has been in the air for some time: has the emergence of interest in organisational resilience altered the career paths of those working in Business Continuity Management? And whether it has or not, what does the future hold for BCM and the professionals that deliver it?

And whether it has or not, what does the future hold for BCM and the professionals that deliver it?Those of us working at the BCI and PwC get to work with many BCM and risk and resilience related professionals across many industries and countries, and we have seen significant change emerge, particularly over the past few years. Our organisations and their strategies have evolved to meet changing circumstances,
economies and stakeholder needs.
BCM has been embedded in many of our workplaces (though certainly not all) and its acceptance as business-as usual has helped support the emergence of the wider concept of ‘organisational resilience’, which in turn has opened up new conversations for some BCM leaders, particularly those working at the most
senior levels.
What we wanted to know from the research was about the reality in your organisation and what you, as a key
stakeholder in the future of BCM and its associated activity, think has, is or will change.
