reinforces Business Continuity Management role in societal protection and ensures organizations can respond to incidents, emergencies, disasters and remain a-going-concern.

made or natural disasters) is critical in preventing fjnancial losses, damage to reputation and building organizational resilience.

Organisational Resilience and its Imperatives for Vendors

Organisational resilience is ‘the ability of an organisation to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruptions in order to survive, grow and be Profjtable. Resilience is more than just increasing the robustness of a business – it’s about looking forward to see what might happen and striving to stay one step ahead.

The four pillars of resilience are:

  • Governance: for resilience to be efgective, key stakeholders and T
  • p management must

be aware of and ready to implement changes.

  • Resilience: taking steps to make a business more robust before any business disruption

is critical.

  • Business continuity: Organizations that are hit by disaster and do not have a continuity

and disaster recovery plan may not survive the incident or go into extinction. Business continuity is about having a plan to continue critical services within pre-defjned time- scales in order to meet expectations of interested parties.

  • Crisis management: it’s important to have a crisis communication plan in place for

implementation/invocation during a major incident crisis. This will help to reduce reputational damage which can impact on the goodwill of organizations.
