Operational risk and resilience

A risk-based approach to operational resilience: When prevention isn’t always better than a cure.

On-demand webinar video

Prevention is only better than cure when you can prevent.

Our world is facing more and more large impact “grey rhino” events whether arising from climate, social, geopolitical, economic or whatever source of unpreventable events.  As a result, being operationally resilient is no longer an option but a necessity for long-term sustainability and success.      

GRC 20/20 pundit Michael Rasmussen and Protecht's Michael Howell explore what true operational resilience really means in today's business environment. They discuss how changes in our global risk landscape push our focus more to our ability to withstand shocks, recover from those shocks and be adaptable when those shocks create a new normal. 

They also discuss what this means for traditional risk management when the focus moves from not when but if, to not if but when.
