GWC group provides training and consultancy in the following areas of risk:
Over the years we have developed the view that all training should be approached at a sensible gradient, both for the trainer and the trainee. We consider that it is far more effective to build upon the solid foundation of a student’s or staff personal experience than attempt to impose a strange discipline on a base of uncertainty in unfamiliar territory. The most powerful form of learning is to discover something for oneself. Therefore the most effective education occurs in an environment of self-discovery. We believe that it is in our interest and that of our clients to share our knowledge and experience and to compare it with theirs. In the process we expect both parties to assimilate information, increase their understanding and form new ideas.

The special skills of Business Continuity fall into two distinct categories. There are the pre-planning and preparation skills that are required to develop the plans and strategies that we might call the Pro-Active skill set. These skills are acquired or transferred through an education process. The other set of skills are those very practical ‘heat of the moment’ skills that are needed to implement or apply the plans and strategies. This second group can be called the Reactive skill set. Reactive skills need to be developed through experiential training.
