Leadership & Culture: to provide clear direction and purpose when faced with crises and to engage staff in achieving business resilience objectives.

Risk Analysis & Management: to anticipate risks, withstand crises, and continue delivering core products and services while responding to changing market and consumer pressures.

Networks & Partnerships: to engage with third parties that are important to your business such as suppliers, competitors, government agencies, and others to achieve business resilience objectives.
