Complex Incident Restoration with Gen AI
(2-Day Masterclass)
Date : 15th to 16th January 2026
Time: 9am to 5.30pm
Venue : Hotel venue in town with lunch provided

Introduction
When critical IT systems fail, the pressure on leaders to restore service swiftly and decisively is immense. The Complex Incident Restoration is purpose-built for IT Directors, Application Delivery Leads, Service Managers and Programme Directors/Managers who are responsible for leading recovery efforts during high-stakes system outages and service disruptions.
In complex enterprise environments, restoration is rarely straightforward. Multiple teams, technologies, and vendors are involved—making it difficult to isolate the root issue, align stakeholders, and drive effective resolution under time pressure.
This workshop provides a structured, proven framework to lead technical recovery efforts with precision, clarity, and authority and is a Strategic Value for IT Application & Service Delivery Programme Leadership.
