Track 3: Adaptation, Governance and Regulatory
In recent decades, the resilience function has risen like a phoenix from its birthplace as a small subsidiary function in the organisational system. From humble beginnings as a bit part player in the IT department, resilience is now one the key boardroom agenda topics in any responsible organisation. Yet still there is no common agreement on where its home should be - from Corporate Security, Health and Safety, Legal, Sustainability and even Finance - this session looks at how to build a resilience department with real impact, and most importantly, where to avoid positioning it.
