Podcast # 05 - Dhiraj Lal in conversation with Rolf von Roessing : "The swan is not black!"
Channel: Continuity & Resilience
Date: 04/04/2022

As part of our "BCM Best of the Best" series, hear the Switzerland-based Rolf von Roessing, who is one of the first BC practitioners in Europe, outside of the UK. Rolf joined the BCI (Business Continuity Institute) in 1998, literally the day it started, because he in fact had joined its predecessor, the Survive Group in 1994. He served on the BCI Board of Directors from 2001 to 2008. Rolf has published extensively on BCM and is a frequent international speaker. He has also written a book on auditing BCM, and has previously held senior positions at KPMG and Ernst & Young. Rolf has graduated to almost being a soothsayer, because many of the things he predicted have indeed since materialised. Rolf does tell BCM Practitioners to be vigilant, because the swan is really not black, and we all should have seen the pandemic coming.
