A resilient business is one that can withstand external shocks to its business, market, or supply chain. A resilient team is one that is well prepared, with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and a clear plan if something goes wrong. It is confident in having the right people, processes, and technology to operate while adhering to governance principles. In short, resiliency means fewer surprises. So how can IT leaders develop these necessary skills in their teams, and what opportunities and risks should we be mindful of this year?

This session will look at the four key areas for operational resiliency, including adaptability, persistence, mental toughness, and resourcefulness. From chaos comes opportunity. How do companies take this as an opportunity for growth?
