Business Continuity- focusing on keeping business in business

It is no secret that without a properly developed and tested business continuity plan, your organization is essentially courting danger and risking extinction. I outline a multistep process to demystify the process of developing these critical plans for your organization.

Developing a Resilient Culture within your Enterprise

Many organizations spend a great deal on advanced tools to reduce risk and build their resilience posture with limited results. Let me take you on a journey of rediscovery by tapping into the power of your most critical resource. By building and embedding a resilient culture in your organization your organization will be ready for the uncertainty of 2020 and beyond.

Personal Resilience- overcoming obstacles on the road to success

Growing up in the developing world and subsequently becoming a globally recognized thought leader is not an easy journey. It is commonplace to say "work hard and all will be okay" but in reality so much more goes on behind the curtains to make this happen. I share an intimate journey with my audience that leaves them wanting to reach out to people they never thought about connecting with before. I bring authenticity and I share a practical approach to building personal resilience.

Testimonials (5)

I met Malcolm in academic circles some years ago, and then professionally for several years. 7 In September 2019, Malcolm was the Featured Speaker at our 7th Caribbean Facilities Management Conference - Developing a Disaster Management Culture in Caribbean Facilities Management, held in Trinidad and Tobago. He spoke on Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity Plans in the context of Caribbean Facilities Management. His presentation was professional and relevant, and as a natural and seasoned speaker, Malcolm captured and held the audience throughout. An excellent presentation. In addition to this, Malcolm organized and chaired a panel discussion to close the conference titled - The state of the Region – Where are we now as a region in terms of Emergency Preparedness & Business Continuity. He pulled together a powerful leadership team to participate and led them through a healthy and informative dialogue on the topic. It was the high point of the conference. Malcolm is a true professional. He is articulate, has a deep base of knowledge and expertise in his area and has earned the highest levels of respect from business, government and military leaders in many countries. It has been a great pleasure working with him on this project and I look forward to more such opportunities.

I cannot say enough about Malcolm's selfless service and leadership. As a volunteer for the West Point Society of Richmond, Malcolm organized an incredible Leadership & Ethics Conference for rising high school seniors. To accomplish this, Malcolm coordinated with dozens of area school administration (and, countless students), secured corporate sponsors to fund the event, and invited industry-leading keynote speakers (including the Surgeon General of the US Army and the Chairman of one of the nation's largest law firms). His planning and preparedness were simply stellar, from site selection and logistical coordination to digitizing event registration and tracking. Our society has held these events in the past, but under Malcolm's leadership, it went to another level. And, he did it all for the high school students. It was an impactful event - and, we can't thank him enough for his leadership and planning.

I first met Malcolm Reid through the planning committee for the annual HSSE Conference and Exhibition held by the American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago. I was impressed with the depth and breadth of his knowledge of security management as he provided advice to the committee on suitable security topics to be covered at the conference. Malcolm also worked with me directly for six months on a physical security improvement project while I was the manager responsible for security at Methanex Trinidad Limited. He demonstrated excellent skills in vulnerability assessments, incident investigation, use of technology, business continuity planning, and development of procedures. He was action-oriented and customer-focused. If you’re looking for a high-quality security management consultant, I definitely recommend Malcolm.

I first met Malcolm at an ASIS social event he hosted in September 2012. It was only in December 2013 at Business Continuity training, I was really exposed to the remarkable individual he is. As an individual, he is highly ambitious, driven, organised and confident. As a trainer, in the conduct of the course, the highest degree of professionalism and integrity was maintained throughout. He displayed commitment and dedication to the students through long hours and sleepless nights, to ensure that course material was made available for our use and practice. This is indicative of an individual who cares about maintaining his professional reputation and cares about his students. To ensure that they attained the same level of excellence and were successful in the exam. I am proud to say, we all passed.
