Operational Resilience is no longer optional. Boards, regulators, and senior leaders are demanding clarity, accountability, and evidence that critical services can withstand disruption. This book provides a practical, regulator‑aligned framework for designing, governing, and embedding resilience across complex organisations.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
• Identify and map Critical Services with precision.
• Build regulator‑aligned Impact Tolerances.
• Design practical Controls, Metrics, and Governance.
• Design and Run SBP scenario tests that challenge assumptions.
• Create board‑ready reporting and accountability models.
• Align with PRA, FCA, DORA, NIS2, and global expectations.
• Embed Resilience into Culture, Operations, and decision‑makin.
