Why is operational resilience important and what does it include?
Operational resilience is an important tool for helping businesses to handle adverse situations. Every organization experiences the occasional problem. These problems can range from staffing issues to natural disasters affecting the organization’s facilities and making it impossible for normal business operation to continue. The goal behind operational resilience is to identify potential problems before they happen and come up with a plan to either mitigate the effects or to allow the organization to quickly recover.
