A Historic University Builds Resilience
Yeshiva University, over 130 years old, has over 10,000 people on six different campuses extending throughout four boroughs in NYC. The university engaged Andrew to guide a Masters level student project to develop a business continuity plan.
Solution
Working in close cooperation with IT, facilities, and risk management departments, the team identified successful past practices from Hurricane Sandy and potential vulnerabilities and key mitigation measures. The team developed a draft plan, conducted a table top exercise, and made additional recommendations for improvement.
Outcome
Recommended solutions were formalized into planning documents and mitigation measures put in place, increasing organizational resilience in critical functions.
