[can-talk] Business Continuity skills - a call for resources and knowledgeable people

Business Continuity skills - a call for resources and knowledgeable people 

 

The responsibility of cultural heritage organisations to plan for business
continuity in times of natural or man-made disaster is an important element
of an integrated approach to conservation and preservation. It's therefore
noteworthy that a Skill Set in Business Continuity is now being developed
for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.

 

I am a member of the Cultural Sector Advisory Committee to "Innovation and
Business Skills Australia", the body that oversees - among other fields -
library and museum training packages in the VET sector. Through this
membership, I have been invited to serve on a Reference Group for the
development of VET-level subjects that will constitute a Skill Set in
Business Continuity. 

 

The Skill Set will be included in the BSB07 Business Services Training
Package, and will potentially reach into all areas of the Australian
workforce. Other members of the Reference Group come from the SES (in NSW),
Sydney Water, the ANZ bank, the Dept of Families & Community Services (SA)
and La Trobe University.

 

Consultants appointed to develop the Skill Set have asked the Reference
Group to assist them in several ways. I am therefore seeking ASSISTANCE from
the collections and cultural heritage sectors to share information with the
consultants, as follows:

 

By 15 July (i.e. next Tuesday) or ASAP

*	Position descriptions of people who have Business Continuity
responsibilities / roles as part or all of their job
*	Documents outlining Business Continuity frameworks, policy or
processes
*	Relevant websites

 

By Tuesday 12 August

*	Names and contact details of individuals willing to be included in
the consultation process as the Business Continuity Skill Set is developed.

 

Further information

The development, consultation and validation of Skill Sets is a process
located within the VET system of competency-based training. It has its own
language and acronyms. I am not a VET expert, but have access to further
information that I can pass on if anyone wants more detail.

 

Please feel free to share this opportunity to contribute with your
colleagues and related networks. I look forward to receiving any
information, resources or suggestions that come easily to hand or to mind.
