Build Resilience. Protect Value. Deliver Growth.

Business resilience is defined by the ability to withstand, bounce back, adapt and grow – despite downturns or disruption.
Preconceptions about what a resilient company or economy looks like have been shattered in recent years. Systemic disruption, social upheaval, a worsening climate emergency and growing government intervention have radically changed expectations from all stakeholder groups. Greater scrutiny of organisations is the hallmark of an increasingly unforgiving environment, for which the only true countermeasure is building and sustaining resilience.

CULTIVATING RESILIENCE TO RISE AND THRIVE

The latest Resilience Barometer® data reveals that socio-economic fault lines exposed by COVID-19 are creating an unforgiving marketplace. Economic disruption, government support schemes, social change and climate crisis, are driving relentless scrutiny of companies from governments and the public, with little room to avoid disputes and investigations into business practices and behaviour.

Meanwhile, new fault lines emerge in the economy, forcing companies to embed resilience on more fronts than ever before. Accelerating digital transformation is driving a growing number of cybersecurity threats, societal shifts influencing class actions and mass consumer claims, and the Great Resignation is aggravating a shortage of talent and skills across the G20.
