This is the second in our career-focused IRDR Enterprise Workshops, which are an essential complement to our academic programmes. This series aims to enable students to identify their career goals and get best prepared to achieve them.
This workshop will be led by Emily Warburton-Brown, an Operational Resilience Analyst at the London Metal Exchange. Emily is an alumna of UCL IRDR (Risk, Disaster and Resilience MSc 2015–17) with experience in organisational and corporate resilience. Before starting at the London Metal Exchange, she worked for the Canary Wharf Group plc and Rescue Global.
During the workshop, she will give an overview of how business continuity and all incidents across these organisations are managed, present a case of a hazard/ incident in this environment and lead the students to work out how the estate can continue its operations and limit the impacts of such hazards/ incidents.
Please note that due to current covid restrictions, this event is only open to current IRDR postgraduate students.
