BBC Friday 5 May 2017 – Emergency Preparedness Update w/ Colleen Kragen

Colleen On LinkedInBC@BBC — Join us this BBC FRIDAY for the long-awaited Emergency Preparedness Part 4, w/ Colleen Kragen, Disaster Preparedness ConsultantTaking the first step in Emergency Management and Business Continuity Planning: Risk Assessment and Hazard Mitigation. (What could be more fun?)

“BC [that’s business continuity, as in “can you continue your business after that big party?”] can be defined as the uninterrupted availability of all key resources supporting essential business functions. Business continuity management provides for the availability of processes and resources following a disruption of the business in order to ensure the continued achievement of mission critical objectives.” (Business Continuity Management: Global Best Practices, 4th Ed., By Andrew Hiles, 2014)

Risk assessment and hazard mitigation is important for every business to consider. Bainbridge Island has unique characteristics that make BC planning crucial: natural disasters can cause physical isolation (different from emotional isolation); power outages and communication systems losses are common; it has a delicate economic system that is vulnerable to supply shortages (What? There’s no more single malt Scotch?). But DON’T PANIC! Be prepared.

Colleen Kragen – EMERPREP Consultant: University of New Haven, M.S. Crisis/ Emergency/ Disaster Management. Western Washington University, B.A. Natural Resources Management & Policy. ESWS Certification – Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist, US Navy. LinkedIn: linkedin.com/pub/colleen-kragen/a9/186/455.     Contact: [email protected]. 2016 BBC-handout: Business Recovery Plan.

BBC Friday 21 April 2017 – Business Tools Sharing w/ Wynne Jacobson

This BBC Friday, we’ll start off with BBC Regular Wynne Jacobson, owner Eagle Harbor Editing, who will introduce and share about the StrengthsFinder program. (Wynne on LinkedIn.) Gallup Strengths Center gallupstrengthscenter.com.

Note: Wynne is neither associated with the Gallup Organization nor does she receive any monetary compensation for informing people about StrengthsFinder. (Though I think they should send her a nice thank you gift for sharing her story about StrengthsFinder or maybe hire her for some great proofing work! But that’s just my opinion, as chair of and writer for Bainbridge Business Connection. Brava, Wynne!)

OK, back on topic. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and discussion. Afterwards, as time permits, there should also be opportunity for a few others to share a business tool or app that has been helpful to them, or maybe just share some business wisdom learned along life’s way.

Be here, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, me scurvy maties, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise!

So invite your friends and associates to come join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space…and another delicious cup of BBC!

No BBC This Friday, 3 March 2017

Due to … certain curious and non-virtual eventualities … BBC is canceled for tomorrow

See you all next on Friday March 10th.
Do good business, care for community, be kind.
Again, we will commence our BBC Friday Morning Life Together a week from tomorrow, on March 10th.

Thank you

Sincerely,
BBC Management, KaveDragen Ink, & other entrepreneurial sentients from planet BBC.
