GTIME

To help ensure that any impacted government and business organizations recovers from a wide scale business disruption or disastrous event in the most efficient, effective, expeditious, and caring way possible. Participants will partner to coordinate emergency management, business continuity response, and resumption with an emphasis on business continuity.

GTIME is a cross-disciplinary project that seeks out and analyzes best practices for public / private cooperation in addressing wide scale events and incidents that could affect the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) at large. Our scope includes assessing key risks, sharing information, and planning together to address those risks. GTIME works to bring together government, business and emergency services across the GTA for a meaningful dialogue on our collective abilities. Our goal is to express ideas and opinions as a group, and to drive awareness and evolution across business and government.

GTIME will focus directly on how the public sector, critical infrastructure providers and the private sector understand each other’s degree of preparedness. We will collaborate to open a dialogue, plan integration points, and facilitate the transition from Emergency Response to Business Continuity. Our objective is to achieve a joint incident management model across all business continuity phases, and commonality in how we handle widespread incidents.
