Bridging the resilience gap: achieving effective BCM for the future
July 21 @ 6:00 am – 7:00 am EDT
Description:
Across the EMEA region, organizations face an intricate web of modern disruptions: macroeconomic pressures, geopolitical instability, regulatory changes and accelerating technological shifts. While most business continuity leaders report confidence in their resilience programs, when disruption occurs, dependency maps don’t hold up, and recovery targets are missed. Traditional, siloed approaches to continuity management often create an illusion of preparedness, leaving critical operations unmapped and exposing organizations to unforeseen vulnerabilities when a live crisis hits.
In this webinar, we will share findings from Optro’s new survey of 500 business continuity leaders worldwide, including key data from Europe, the UK, and the Middle East. Drawing on these insights, we will examine why mature continuity frameworks can still falter during disruptions, focusing on regional friction points such as third-party concentration risk, hidden ecosystem dependencies, and fragmented internal silos. We will discuss how the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and automated systems is introducing entirely new failure modes that traditional resilience programs aren’t prepared to handle. Attendees will learn how to break down internal silos, synchronizing risk disciplines, and evolving BCM from a static exercise into a dynamic capability built for long-term operational resilience.
Learning objectives:
- Identify and diagnose the “Resilience Gap” within your own organization by evaluating the common friction points between internal confidence metrics and actual operational readiness during a disruption.
- Architect an integrated dependency framework that moves beyond basic contract management to map upstream and downstream processes and evaluate their criticality to your organization.
- Navigate regulatory requirements for business continuity, resiliency, and testing to maintain compliance and provide value to your organization.
