Episode Summary:
This week, Shane interviews Micheal Herrera, founder and CEO of MHA Consulting and BCMMetrics, who recently wrote an article titled- "Sidelined: The Strange Fate of BCM During the COVID Pandemic.” His article observes what many witnessed- that many BCM professionals were either not the primary leader in a Pandemic response for their organization, or one of the first let go during furloughs caused by cost cutting.
We discuss Michael's observations about why this may have happened and if this can be remedied.
