Why operational resilience is non-negotiable for business survival

It is the environment in which organisations operate today. Cyber threats, system outages, economic uncertainty, rapid technological change, and rising customer expectations are testing organisations in ways traditional risk management was never designed to handle.

Operational resilience has moved from being a regulatory requirement to a business-critical capability. Organisations that cannot withstand disruption risk long-term failure.

This opening session in our six-part Operational Resilience series sets the foundation. Our expert panel will explore why resilience is essential, how it supports business survival, and what leaders need to prioritise to protect critical operations, people, and value.

During this session, attendees may gain insight into:

• Why operational resilience has become essential for modern organisations
• The business impact of disruption and downtime
• How leadership, culture, governance, and technology contribute to resilience
• Practical steps organisations can take now to strengthen their resilience foundations

The session will also include a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to submit questions via the chat for our panel to address.
