Operational Resilience Enablement

Operational Resilience is the “ability of firms, financial market infrastructures and the financial sector as a whole to prevent, adapt and respond to, recover and learn from operational disruption”

There are a number of operational resilience implementation challenges firms face, including:

  • Lack of subject matter expertise

  • Siloed implementation with no integration

  • Resource constraints

  • Lack of strategy and future vision

  • Sector benchmarking

  • A narrow definition of resilience aligned purely with the regulations
