Andy Osborne
Andy is a highly experienced BCM, risk and crisis mgmt. consultant, trainer and author. In his 20+ years as an independent consultant, he has helped well in excess of 200 clients, of all shapes and sizes, worldwide, across a broad range of industry sectors, to develop, implement, prove and maintain their business continuity, risk and crisis management capability. He is a firm believer that a) business continuity and crisis management are about developing a capability, not simply writing a plan and b) the role of a consultant or adviser is to simplify apparently complex processes and present them in a way that is easy to understand, not the other way around. Andy is the author of several books, including Practical Business Continuity Management, Risk Management Simplified and the intriguingly titled Ski Boots and Celery – A Compilation of Oz’s Business Continuity Blogs, as well as his popular business continuity ‘Tip of the Month’, all of which aim to demystify the BCM and Risk Mgmt.
