THE PROBLEM

Plans often describe normal operations. Real resilience depends on decision rights, fallback modes, information flow, rehearsed response and implementation discipline.

THE OUTCOME

A practical resilience framework that can be exercised, improved and implemented rather than left as a static policy document.
