Increase enterprise resilience

Bolster your corporate immune system

Enterprise Resilience is an organisation's capacity to anticipate and react to change not only to survive, but to evolve.

Achieving rewards today requires taking greater risks that come from places and at times when you don't expect them. Building and sustaining a resilient business is a commercial imperative - so your organisation isn't left vulnerable. Enterprise resilience is like your corporate immune system. If it's in good shape and something strikes, you can shrug it off.

Organisations that enhance their immune system are able to endure challenges and bounce back more quickly. A strong immune system will also make your organisation fittest to jump furthest, most flexible to evolve, and able to see and seize opportunities ahead of competitors.

How does resilience create value?

With stronger resilience your organisation will be better positioned to capitalise on change and crisis with the confidence to take necessary risks. You will be able to right-size your investments, make investments in risk management more effective, and turn change to your advantage.

• Prepared for uncertainly
  We understand our organisation and likely futures. We acknowledge we cannot predict everything, and must create optimal conditions to identify and respond to change.
• Consistently creating advantage
  We use our resilience to create and exploit opportunity. We understand how our everyday decisions and activities, as well as our strategies and processes, manage risk and opportunity.
• Exploiting weak signals
  We know there are weak signals that something is going right or wrong, and that they can get lost in the noise. So we know where to look for our resilience signals - positive and negative - and address them before impact.
• Protecting what's important
  We always know what's important, from customers and people to assets and processes. We protect them efficiently but we know bad things can happen to good companies and we're ready to manage them.
• Avoiding major remediation
  Major change, total transformation and even minor remediation costs time and money, and means we've been less good than we could be. We avoid remediation by investing in being one step ahead.
• Building trust
  Our stakeholders trust us; our customers rely on us; people like working with us. They know they can count on us; they bring us opportunities and they forgive us because we always work hard to consistently honour them.
