The Expanding Scope of Business Resilience: Linking ERM with Agility

by Brian J. Dooley

As we explore in this Executive Report, business resilience combines enterprise risk management (ERM) and agility to create robust organizations capable of withstanding any threat. A resilient organization aligns its strategy, operations, and management systems to continually adjust to changing risks, endure disruptions, and improve efficiency. Resilience is a program for taking proactive measures to ensure an effective response and preserve core values. In addition to examining ways to achieve resilience, including existing industry frameworks and models, this report also reviews some case studies that illustrate how organizations can create resilient practices.
