Survive,
the Global Business Continuity Group, has officially announced the
appointment of Lorraine Lane as its new chief executive. Lorraine
joined Survive earlier in the year and has been conducting a full
operational review and developing a strategy to take the organisation
forward after a couple of tough years.
Survive
now has a new business strategy, team structure and vision in place.
Its investment and expansion plans include improving the existing
range of member services and products and the research and development
of new services for its members. Survive will also be focusing on
expanding its international reach which already includes a parallel
operation in Australia.
Lorraine has held similar director level appointments
at both The Institute of Chartered Accountants and The International
Air Transport Association (IATA), where she was responsible for
the development of commercial services including training, distance
learning, e-publishing, conferences, exhibitions and research. As
director of Aviation Information and Conferences at IATA, Lorraine
was responsible for a complete business restructure that turned
a loss to a profit centre; launching IATA’s first on-line
conference and exhibition as well as leading the transition to e-marketing
and the introduction of customer retention management policies.
Commenting on the appointment, Cliff Bassett,
chairman of Survive, said: “I am confident that Lorraine has
the expertise and skills to make Survive the leading and first choice
provider of business continuity information and services to assist
our members in their business continuity role.”
Founded in 1989, Survive runs a wide range
of business continuity courses aimed at both the novice and experienced
practitioner, as well as Special Interest Group meetings which allow
like minded practitioners to share experience and gain valuable
insight into current business continuity issues. Both the training
courses and Special Interest Groups are open to members and non-members;
