Operation Resilience: your mission if you chose to accept it! ... this message will self destruct in 5...4...3...

Over the last few months we have had clients and prospects asking about Operational Resilience and what it means to me, SAI and them?

  • “do you have a dashboard that shows how resilient we are?”
  • “can you help me prepare to present our resiliency to the executive management team?”
  • What does it mean to be resilient?

Most companies have started to make the taxonomy transition to ‘Operational Resilience’ and have read the BoE paper. I thought I would share some responses I provided, as I thought they may be of use:
  • There’s no one answer
  • It’s not one data point or factor
  • It means different things to different people, and it has different context to different vertical markets and company types
  • But… a company / the client needs to put a stake in the ground and decide what it means to them, and BCM is at the heart of it
  • To me, it’s a combination of factors that a company can use to decide if they are or are not resilient
  • Being resilient is not an end-game, it’s a journey

​
Clients need to develop a framework for resiliency and be able to articulate their resiliency factors. We have a dedicated global advisory team who are able to assist in development if/when required, but the key questions we always cover during initial meetings are:
​
  • Are your BIAs up to date?
  • Are your Process models up to date?
  • Are your BIA scores going up or down? Greater or lesser impact to the business from BIA to BIA?
  • Are your Tests/Exercises improving or getting worse?
  • Does your BC Steering committee meet regularly, make decisions, and make progress on initiatives?
  • Do you have risk metrics you measure your BCM program against?
  • From the last 12 months of real incidents, how did you DO?
  • Are you training new hires in BC and Crisis?
  • Are you re-training them annually?
  • Do you have a critical communications tool and do people use it?

This is not necessarily about the software, it’s bigger. Yes, you want to be able to answer these questions in a tool – the executive dashboard approach of Resiliency Metrics and use of a solution will help. But it is much more about the culture surrounding the software and the engagement across business and IT functions.
