In the ever-evolving landscape of global challenges, resilience has emerged as a critical attribute for businesses to survive and thrive. As the world grappled with the seismic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, organisations faced an unprecedented test of their operational resilience. The swift shift to remote work, supply chain disruptions, staff absences, cyber-attacks and unpredictable market demands became a norm almost overnight. As we look back, the testing of organisational resilience during the pandemic was not an isolated or one-off scenario.
These events underscore the urgency of establishing and maintaining strong operational resilience. This blog post examines the strategies businesses can employ to fortify their operational resilience, ensuring not just survival but sustained success in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment.
Business continuity is the ability of an organisation to continue operating during a major disruption, such as a natural disaster, cyber-attack, or power outage. It is important for organisations of all sizes to have a business continuity plan in place to minimise the impact of a disruption and ensure that they can continue to serve their customers and employees.
There are many reasons why business continuity is important. Here are just a few:
Minimised Downtime: Swiftly resuming operations post-disruption event is vital for maintaining service continuity, particularly in high-stakes or time-sensitive business environments.
Reduced Financial Loss: By minimising downtime and facilitating rapid recovery, business continuity and disaster recovery plans substantially decrease potential financial losses associated with extended periods of inactivity or reduced operational capacity.
Enhanced Reputation and Customer Trust: Effective business continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans establish organisations as reliable and responsible entities, boosting reputation among customers, stakeholders, and industry peers, especially during crises.
Regulatory Compliance: Some business sectors such as financial services and healthcare (US) are required by legislation to have business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
Employee Safety and Wellbeing: Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of employees during disruptions underpins resilience and the ability to continue to operate effectively and efficiently.
Supply Chain Security: Identifying and addressing supply chain vulnerabilities, is vital for businesses relying heavily on external suppliers and vendors.
