Operational resilience refers to an organization's ability to anticipate, prevent, and respond to disruptions, such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, and supply chain failures. According to a report by McKinsey, companies that invest in operational resilience can reduce the likelihood of disruptions by up to 50% and minimize their impact by up to 70%. The concept has gained significant attention in recent years, with the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) introducing new regulations to enhance operational resilience in the financial sector. A study by PwC found that 75% of companies experienced a significant disruption in the past year, resulting in an average loss of $1.4 million. As the business landscape continues to evolve, operational resilience will become increasingly important for companies to stay competitive and mitigate potential risks. By 2025, it's estimated that the global operational resilience market will reach $1.3 billion, with a growth rate of 12% per annum.
