Resilience by Design for Operational Excellence

This whitepaper discusses the concept of Resilience by Design (RbD) as a transformative approach for organizations to achieve operational resilience. It outlines the shift from traditional business continuity methods to a proactive, integrated framework that embeds resilience into all aspects of operations, technology, and culture. The paper highlights the urgency for executives to prioritize resilience, citing studies indicating that a significant number of organizations are underprepared for current challenges. RbD emphasizes the importance of aligning technology, processes, and people to create a unified resilience strategy that can adapt to disruptions. The document details the necessary steps for implementing RbD, including comprehensive asset mapping, seamless integration of risk controls, and leveraging predictive analytics. It also emphasizes the need for a cultural shift towards viewing resilience as an ongoing capability rather than a one-time project. By adopting RbD, organizations can enhance their agility, stakeholder confidence, and competitive advantage in a rapidly changing environment.
