For those organisations that truly value their people, this should extend to encouraging and aiding those people to consider resilience from an individual and family standpoint. Think of it as embedding into Life As Usual (LAU) as an extension to BAU.

In an increasingly volatile world, it is imperative that businesses and institutions place business continuity and operational resilience at the centre of their strategies. This includes embedding these concepts throughout BAU.

Whether the risk is geopolitical, environmental, or technological, those risks are increasing and there is a negative adjustment on what constitutes a reasonable worst case scenario.

Unpredictability is the only predictable in current times. We stand at one of the most dangerous points in history and it’s moving further in the wrong direction. Organisations, institutions, and individuals need to strengthen their focus on resilience and continuity.
