Advanced Business Resilience

Anticipate disruption — build agile organisations that emerge stronger.
A comprehensive 5‑day programme designed to equip senior leaders, resilience managers, and senior professionals with the tools, frameworks, and strategic insight to steer their organisations through adversity. Through interactive workshops, scenario simulations, case studies, and peer-led projects, you’ll develop an adaptive, high-reliability operating system to sustain performance in volatile environments.

 Why this course is important

• Complex challenges demand readiness: Cyber threats, supply issues, disasters, and market shocks require organisations to anticipate, adapt, and respond quickly.

• Beyond continuity to resilience: True resilience means bouncing back stronger — embedding proactive policies, culture, and systems aligned with ISO 22301 and BSI 65000 principles.

• Leadership shapes resilience: Embedding resilience at a strategic level empowers teams and ensures continuity in crisis — preserving reputation, safety, and operations.

 Who should attend

• Resilience, crisis, and continuity leaders shaping strategic readiness

• Senior operational, risk, and emergency managers responsible for safeguarding systems

• HSE, security, and business continuity heads seeking integrated resilience insights

• Executive sponsors, operational directors, and consultants leading organisational resilience transformation

 What you will learn

Structured across five immersive days:

1. Foundations of Resilience & Risk
   – Explore BSI 65000’s five maturity levels, ISO 22301 and the difference between continuity and resilience in complex systems

2. Leadership, Culture & Governance
   – Learn to build trust-based cultures, foster empowerment, succession planning, and embed resilience ownership across teams

3. Continuity & Recovery Design
   – Build stronger continuity policies and disaster recovery frameworks to protect critical functions during disruption

4. Foresight & Adaptive Planning
   – Master ‘Black Swan’ scenario planning, strategic anticipation, flexible team models, and risk communication for high-impact events

5. Safety, Security & High-Reliability Operations
   – Integrate asset protection, security systems, and traits of high-reliability organisations into comprehensive resilience programmes

Each day uses practical simulations, peer‑led case workshops, and collaborative design sessions to embed learning.

 What participants say

Jacob, Resilience Manager – Financial Services
 (5/5)
“I learned how to quantify resilience maturity and found the Black Swan scenario drills incredibly useful. I enjoyed the team simulations and will now implement foresight planning into our annual strategy process.”

Bruce, Head of Security – Critical Infrastructure
 (5/5)
“The leadership and governance modules showed me how to build an empowered safety culture. I found the continuity design sessions highly relevant, and I plan to establish a cross-functional resilience board using the frameworks taught.”

Ali, Emergency Response Lead – Energy Sector
 (5/5)
“I discovered how to align ISO 22301 with our crisis planning. The recovery roadmap activity was eye-opening, and I’ll use the resilience maturity model to benchmark and improve our organisational readiness.”
