Individual Consultancy Project:


Perhaps the most important element of the MSBC is the series of individual projects carried out by each student. All incoming students must obtain an agreement from their employer to permit and support their active involvement in the analysis and, to the extent possible, improvement of business continuity within their organization. In rare cases, students are accepted with study agreements from organizations other than their own employers. During each week of each MSBC seminar, you will read about and discuss the topics at hand; as you are studying various aspects of business continuity, you will analyze the situation at your workplace with respect to what you have learned. You will write up each week's findings, and use them to prepare a report with recommendations for specific areas of BC improvement, to be submitted at the end of each seminar to your MSBC instructor. After your Instructors have graded and commented on your work, you are expected to submit your report to the appropriate people within your organization. Ideally, your education will continue through discussions with your own colleagues about their reports.

Confidentiality


Only the Program Director, the Associate Program Director, and an Assistant Director have access to information about a student's employer during the admissions process. University staff members in the offices of the Registrar and the Bursar may also have access to employer information because of student financial arrangements.

As an MSBC student, you need never reveal where you work to students and faculty in the program:

  • You may use a non-employer e-mail address
  • You may refer to your employer as "my employer" or "the organization" or some other neutral term in all discussions and term papers
  • You need not indicate in which city, area of the country or even country where you live
  • You have no obligation to reveal which branch of the government or military you work for
  • You are under no pressure whatsoever to compromise the confidentiality of your employer's information
