According to the ISO Survey, there's been a 82.9% increase in worldwide ISO 22301 certificates issued following 2020. Business Continuity is a must have for businesses who want to ensure long-term survivability following a disruptive event. Many turn to ISO 22301 to help put a framework in place, including today's guest – Lifelong Learner. However, what usually takes businesses a minimum of 6 months, Lifelong Learner managed to accomplish in just 4 months across an international organisation! That is no small part due to the tremendous effort of Lifelong Learner's Manager of Information Security, Governance, Risk and Compliance, Lauren Taylor. Lauren joins Mel on this weeks' episode to share her journey and explains the challenges associated with implementing a Business Continuity Management System in just 4 months. You'll learn ·       Who are Lifelong Learner? ·       Why did they decide to Implement ISO 22301? ·       What did they learn from implementing ISO 22301? ·       What was the biggest challenge with Implementation? ·       What are the benefits of implementing ISO 22301?   Resources ·       Isologyhub ·       Lifelong Learner ·       PSI Testing Excellence ·       Talogy   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:05] Episode summary: Today Mel is joined by guest Lauren Taylor who is the Manager of Information Security, Governance, Risk and Compliance at Lifelong Learner Holdings LLC. Lifelong Learner and it's brands represent a fusion of comprehensive workforce solutions, with a human-first focus of changing lives through assessment. This includes helping people advance in educational and career aspirations, earning or maintaining licensing or certifications, or providing the tools to develop future leaders. Lauren has helped Lifelong Learner accomplish a massive milestone, and that's the implementation of the Business Continuity Standard ISO 22301 across an international organisation, which she managed to do in just 4 months! She's here to share her journey and lessons learned from implementing ISO 22301. [03:30] Not many people know this about Lauren  – She had previously trained to be a mental health counsellor. [04:05] Who are Lifelong Learner LLC? – Lifelong Learner is the parent company of two subsidiaries: PSI Testing Excellence: a leading provider of assessment solutions for the licensing and certification markets, to Educational Testing Services. Talogy: A market leader in the talent management space whose core purpose is helping organizations achieve their potential. They manage the talent management side of the business. So what they'll do is they'll put together psychometric tests that help companies find the right person for the right job, and will assist with skills development. [05:00] Adding to Lifelong Learner's ISO Collection: Lifelong Learner already have an impressive ISO Library, being certified to: ·       ISO 9001 – Quality Management ·       ISO 14001 – Environmental Management ·       ISO 27001 – Information Security Management [05:20] What was the main driver behind obtaining ISO 22301? – The main driver, as with most companies, is usually a client contractor requirement, but business continuity has been something that we've wanted to look further into for a while, just because there's elements of ISO 27001 that cover the business continuity. While we were able to get through the audits with what we had, we just felt that it just needed a little bit more building out. Business Continuity is a requirement in part of ISO 27001, but for Stakeholders that want assurance that a business has robust business continuity plans in place, ISO 22301 is the next step. [06:10] The Implementation Timeline  – In October 2023, we began with the context workshop where we could kind of get a better idea of the scope of the management system. This was followed by a number of SWOT and PESTLE workshops to help identify what the perceived risks would be. Next came the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) - So essentially what you're needing to find out from these workshops is, the core activities that each of the teams perform on the day-to-day basis. You also need to understand what their systems are that they use, if they have any dependencies, and essentially it all comes down to understanding that if the business cannot perform those activities, what would be the impact overtime if those activities were to stop. Once you have all that information, the next step was to map it across into a risk assessment, which really helps you to understand the granular risks to your business when it comes to business continuity planning. This risk assessment helped to highlight some weaknesses that we hadn't considered before, and gave us a point in the right direction as to what we needed to work on to bridge those gaps. Next was the creation and revamping of documentation inline with ISO 22301 requirements. Thankfully, due to the other ISO's we hold, we already had a lot in place. Same goes for Internal Audits, so this was more a case of integrating ISO 22301 into our existing Management System. Once we had all the documentation, we conducted a ransomware test exercise, which we also documented all the findings from. Then we were we were ready for stage 1! [09:15] What were the biggest gaps Lifelong Leaner needed to address?: Following the BIA and Risk Assessment, we were able to see where we needed response plans because business continuity is always your Plan B. So in our minds, we had an idea of what kind of response plans we would need in terms of i.e. a malware response plan, a ransomware response plan, those sorts of things. But until we actually looked at the BIA we released we needed a few more. [10:25] What difference did addressing those gaps make? – For us it was understanding the real risks to our business. We already had ISO 27001 in place, and we figured if there were to be another pandemic for example, that we'd be covered. However, it wasn't until we did those exercises did we realise that there was a lot we could improve on.   [13:25] What did Lauren learn from Implementing ISO 22301? – How much people underestimate the importance of a good business impact analysis. After going through this in a very, very short space of time, I realised that it is actually the driving force behind a good business continuity management system. Also, it highlighted just how many people believe business continuity is just all about IT and physical security, they completely loft out the human element. An example of this is having a single point of failure, which is where if somebody left there would be a gap. [14:40] What benefits have Lifelong Learner experienced since implementing ISO 22301? – Lauren has noticed that more clients are requesting to see their Business Continuity Plans. It's helped with the introduction of the latest ISO 27001:2022 controls – as these too also focus on elements of business continuity. [15:50] Lauren's top tips for implementing ISO 22301 – Definitely give yourself longer than 4 months! Logically think about how everything links together, the clauses all have purpose and flow in a logical pattern to help create a Management System. Your Management Review can be your best friend. It's your opportunity to really engage with senior management and help them understand what your risks are to the business, how your internal audit is coming along, how you manage your nonconformities and it can be all neatly wrapped up in that nice management review bow. [18:00] Lauren's book recommendation – The Matthew Perry Autobiography, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. [19:30] Lauren's favorite quote – “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” If You'd like to learn more about Lifelong Learner, check out their website.

I'll Be There For You Sermon Series Concludes This Sunday, I will finish my sermon series, I'll Be There For You, with Part 3 - "Reality is an Acquired Taste." As you may recall, the series is inspired by the tremendously popular TV show Friends and the memoir of one of the show's stars, Matthew Perry, Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing. This final sermon is also inspired by Jesus' touching reminder, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Jesus wants us to pay attention to the things that matter most, recognizing that God's love inspires us and motivates us through life's toughest challenges.

New Sermon Series - I'll Be There for You I begin a new three-part sermon series on January 7 titled I'll Be There for You. You may recognize the title, the iconic theme song for the popular '90s sitcom Friends. The inspiration for the series comes from reading former Friends star Matthew Perry's autobiography, Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing. I'm approaching this series through the TV show and Matthew Perry's poignantly haunting memoir. His open and honest approach to his struggles provides valuable insights. Part 1 is titled "Can I Interest You in a Sarcastic Comment?" That is a quote from Chandler, the Matthew Perry character, who unfortunately does not have much wisdom but has a lot of sarcasm! The sermon is also based on John 15: 12-17, which contains the beautiful words of Jesus to his disciples: " I do not call you servants any longer...but I have called you friends." Emily Rogers, our Director of Digital Content, Strategy, and Worship Coordinator, noted that this series will help us see how this ancient word still has powerful meaning in our contemporary world.

In a special episode from The New Yorker's Critics At Large, the celebrity memoir has long been a place for public figures to set the record straight on the story of their lives. By any measure, Britney Spears's life, as detailed in her new book, “The Woman in Me,” is rich material. The pop star rose to fame in the early two-thousands, and, after enduring a series of mental-health crises, was placed in a conservatorship through which her father controlled almost every aspect of her day-to-day existence. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the “horror story” that emerges in the memoir as the teen-aged Spears is betrayed by everyone around her: a family intent on profiting off her talent; a young Justin Timberlake, who used his romance with Spears as a stepping stone for his own career; a ravenous media that both sexualized and shamed her. The hosts consider how “The Woman in Me” fits within the broader canon of celebrity memoirs, citing the producer Julia Phillips's “burn-it-all-down” best-seller, “You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again,” and the late Matthew Perry's 2022 meditation on his struggles with addiction, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.” Ultimately, these stories are just one facet of a broader narrative—and a kind of performance in their own right. “Once you submit to being a celebrity, your music, and how you appear in magazines, and what you produce as a memoir all contribute to this one big text,” Cunningham says. “It's this grand synthesis, and, in the end, the text is Britney herself.”

Crabb and Sales bowl up to the Llewellyn Hall in preposterous garb to farewell outgoing ANU vice chancellor Brian Schmidt, surely the most tolerant Nobel laureate in the history of human achievement. Fortunately this gives Crabb (working with her last remaining shred of vocal cord) an excuse to write the Twelve Days Of Schmidtmas instead of trying to make 2023 funny, a task the prospect of which made her want to lie down in a dark room for some time. Sales is rapt because Kate from Alone shows up. And make sure you listen to the end because somebody does a RAP.

With raw honesty and humor, Perry chronicles his life from childhood to fame, with a focus on the demons that plagued him along the way. Perry's story is one of both privilege and pain. Born into a wealthy family and blessed with talent and charisma, he achieved overnight success on the hit sitcom Friends. Yet behind the scenes, Perry struggled with a deep-seated addiction that threatened to destroy his life. In Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry pulls back the curtain on his addiction, offering a unique and insightful perspective on this complex disease. He writes with brutal honesty about the highs and lows of addiction, the devastating impact it had on his relationships and career, and the arduous process of recovery.  Perry's memoir is more than just a story of addiction and recovery. It is also a story of hope and resilience. Perry's honesty and openness are both admirable and inspiring. He offers readers a rare glimpse into the mind of an addict, and he provides valuable insights into the importance of community, the power of forgiveness, and the possibility of redemption.  “I'm not the biggest fan of confrontation. I ask a lot of questions. Just not out loud.” – Matthew Perry  About Matthew Perry " Matthew Langford Perry" [August 19, 1969 – October 28, 2023] was an award-winning actor, writer, and producer. He was best known for his role as Chandler Bing in the sitcom Friends, which aired from 1994 to 2004. Perry had also starred in numerous other films and television shows, including The Odd Couple, Go On, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.  In addition to his acting career, Perry was a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and addiction recovery. He spoke openly about his own struggles with addiction and helped to raise millions of dollars for addiction treatment and research. Perry's memoir is his latest contribution to the fight against addiction. Perry's advocacy for mental health awareness and addiction recovery is deeply personal. He understood firsthand the devastating impact that addiction can have on individuals, families, and communities. Perry's story is a powerful reminder that addiction does not discriminate, and that it is possible to overcome even the most difficult challenges. Learn more about your ad choices.

Girl Interrupted! Do you remember what you were like at 19?  Hey betches!

The celebrity memoir has long been a place for public figures to set the record straight on the story of their lives. By any measure, Britney Spears's life, as detailed in her new book, “The Woman in Me,” is rich material. The pop star rose to fame in the early two-thousands, and, after enduring a series of mental-health crises, was placed in a conservatorship through which her father controlled almost every aspect of her day-to-day existence. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the “horror story” that emerges in the memoir as the teen-aged Spears is betrayed by everyone around her: a family intent on profiting off her talent; a young Justin Timberlake, who used his romance with Spears as a stepping stone for his own career; a ravenous media that both sexualized and shamed her. The hosts consider how “The Woman in Me” fits within the broader canon of celebrity memoirs, citing the producer Julia Phillips's “burn-it-all-down” best-seller, “You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again,” and the late Matthew Perry's 2022 meditation on his struggles with addiction, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.” Ultimately, these stories are just one facet of a broader narrative—and a kind of performance in their own right. “Once you submit to being a celebrity, your music, and how you appear in magazines, and what you produce as a memoir all contribute to this one big text,” Cunningham says. “It's this grand synthesis, and, in the end, the text is Britney herself.” New episodes drop every Thursday.

This week, the panel begins by discussing Priscilla, Sofia Coppola's new film starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi that's based on Priscilla Presley's memoir, Elvis and Me, and features an otherworldly courtship, gilded cages, and whole lot of mumbling. Then, the three review Anatomy of a Fall, an excellent French movie directed and co-written by Justine Triet that, on the surface, looks like a courtroom drama, but dives deep into the discrepancies and lies that make up a marriage. Finally, they conclude with a spicy topic: Hot Ones, the viral celebrity interview show that forces guests to eat increasingly hot chicken wings while answering surprisingly well-researched questions.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel gets into spoiler territory and discusses the dramatic, twist-y ending of Anatomy of a Fall.   Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: The French History Podcast hosted by Gary Girod, which covers unique and interesting aspects of French culture.

In today's episode, Deborah Goodrich Royce joins me to talk about her latest book, Reef Road. We discuss the personal story behind her book and the role of generational trauma in her writing niche, which she calls “Identity Thrillers.”  We also covered the explosion of true crime content and got a sneak peek at some details of her upcoming book. Also, Deborah shares her book recommendations — breaking the format by pairing the old and new books together.   This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights A spoiler-free rundown of Reef Road. Deborah's “Identity Thrillers” micro-genre and how it fits her writing style. The real-life crime that inspired Reef Road. Why Deborah chose to write a fictional story instead of a non-fiction account. How she explores generational and conferred trauma. The connection between generational trauma and the obsessive researching that motivates amateur sleuths. The role of residual trauma in the lives of authors Dominick Dunne and Michelle McNamara. The explosion of True Crime content and the public's fascination with it. Deborah shares a story about a recent break-in she experienced and discusses how her thriller author mindset influenced her analysis of the event. Some sneak peek details about an upcoming book she's working on. The meta elements about crime fiction in Reef Road. The real-life details that helped develop the true crime writer character's voice in the story. How the setting and the COVID lockdown played a pivotal role in the development of the story.

Today, Nikki and I are here to recommend some romantic suspense books. Romantic suspense have plots that focuses on a mystery, suspense or thriller storyline mixed with a love story that develops in the context of a life-and-death crime—or potential crime—situation. The stakes are high on both the romance and suspense fronts.

It looks like one “Friends” star isn't making many friends these days in Hollywood. In the lead-up to Matthew Perry's hotly anticipated memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Matthew has been making the talk show rounds, teasing the chapters about his life-threatening struggles with addiction. But that's not what's making headlines now! Some other excerpts have been leaked, and he's feeling the blowback. Matthew is taking some heat over some not-so-Friends-ly remarks he made about universally loved Hollywood good guy Keanu Reeves, which has fans on the internet - as well as celebs from all over the industry - up in arms. And besides his Keanu disses, Chandler Bing is also kissing and telling about a drunken evening he spent with actor Valerie Bertinelli, who has taken to TikTok saying she's mortified by that night. Obviously Matthew's on a major press push to get people to read his book, and he's certainly getting press for dishing on fellow celebs, but is it possible that this publicity campaign has backfired and will hurt book sales?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
