The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center were a dramatic test of the business continuity management programs of some of New Yorks leading financial services firms. Most business continuity strategies never envisioned a disruptive event of the nature, scope, or duration of what took place on September 11.

Deloitte & Touche was one of the firms directly affected by the attacksits New York office was located across the street from the World Trade Center. That office is now closed with more than 3,000 employees displaced and working out of temporary facilities around New York.

In a TechDEC session titled, Beating Murphys Law: Disaster Planning and Recovery That Can Save Your Business, Brian Lane, a partner in Deloitte & Touches enterprise risk services division, will distill some of the lessons learned from September 11 and other economic, social, technological, and geocentric events that have been converging over the past decade, all of which pose threats to the continuity of business operations.
