Lesson 1 Overview of Operational Resilience
In today's ever-changing business landscape, operational resilience is no longer a nicety – it's a necessity. But what exactly is operational resilience, and why should you care?

Operational resilience is the ability of your organisation to withstand and adapt to disruptive events. It's about ensuring that your business can continue to operate effectively, even in the face of challenges.

- Minimise downtime and disruption
- Protect your reputation
- Maintain customer satisfaction
- Ensure the safety of your employees
- Recover quickly from setbacks
