Welcome

CIR Resilience Series 2025: Thriving in the permacrisis era

About the event
First hosted in 2022, the annual Resilience Series features a day of presentations, panels and debates, curated to help resilience, risk and continuity professionals understand the most pressing challenges of the day, guided by some of the field’s foremost experts.

Topics for the day

• Building organisational resilience in the face of permacrisis. Global geopolitical instability is now a given, with myriad direct and indirect implications for organisational resilience. How can these be identified and managed?

• Supply chain resilience. Developing robust, anti-fragile supply chains is imperative in against a backdrop of near-constant disruption.

• Digital/cyber risk. Downtime and data loss continue to be one of the costliest risks for organisations of all kinds, with the CrowdStrike outage a recent reminder of the potential systemic nature of this risk.

• Emerging technology risks. Navigating AI, ML and other digital risks.

• The rise and risks of disinformation on a local and global scale. The role of social media and AI; civil unrest and the path to rebuilding trust.

• Embracing authentic diversity. Diversity of thought and skills for the most effective resilience function.

PLUS:

• Navigating the regulatory horizon

• Personal development special session: Communicating the resilience message in the new ‘normal’

• Climate resilience and ESG. A matter of compliance or strategic importance?
