Hugh reflects on the ways in which recent global events including the pandemic, geopolitical developments and supply chain instability have reshaped organisational exposure. The discussion explores why traditional continuity plans must evolve, and how flexible, well‑structured frameworks can better support recovery and operational resilience.

Helen and Hugh also discuss:

  • The value of focusing on the impact of disruption rather than attempting to forecast every possible scenario
  • How supply chain diversification and improved visibility can mitigate key operational vulnerabilities
  • The growing importance of understanding third‑party resilience and technology dependencies
  • How business continuity arrangements and insurance programmes increasingly complement one another
  • The need for continuity plans to be maintained, exercised and regularly updated
