Synopsis: Join us for an insightful presentation by Mark Carroll, founder of Boston University's Enterprise Risk Management Master's Program, as he examines the key facets of resilience, risk and recovery, in the pursuit and protection of value. The BCP realm is or should be framed in context by the overall approach to risk management in the preservation of value. A solid ERM program affects both the probability of a crisis materializing and the degree or pain level of that crisis. Assessing risk as a series of silos is shortsighted and a thing of the past. What is needed is a holistic, top-down approach. Resilience, the magic word of the day, is more than BCP in 2025; it needs to be a step-function change that is cross-functional and encompasses strategy and planning as well as execution.

About our Speaker: Mark Carroll, is a founder of the Boston University graduate program in Business Continuity and Risk Management with over 20 years of college instruction, primarily at the graduate level. He has over 35 years of industry experience in risk management, business continuity and information technology, having led global corporate programs in Business Continuity at major corporations such as BIOGEN, Procter&Gamble/Gillette, and Fidelity Investments.
