The Resilient Journey

Recently, Mark was interviewed by Alex Fullick on his "Preparing for the Unexpected" podcast. The topic? Cyber Incidents as a business continuity problem. This week's guest on the Resilient Journey expands on that topic.
 
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 237 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!
 
This week we are joined by cybersecurity attorney Dr. Steven Wright. Steven and Mark talk about the fact that a cyber incident is NOT just an IT problem. They talk about the collaboration that is required across various disciplines and that we (as resilience professionals) need to be able to build that collaboration. Steven talks about the importance of understanding our cyber insurance and integrating those details in our response plan, adding stress to our exercises and so much more.

This week we're joined by Stuart Murray, a resilience professional with over 25 years in the industry. Stuart and Mark discuss what executives are really looking for in program metrics and what they mean when they ask about resilience. He calls out three very important points about exposure, incremental improvement, and the opportunity to ask for help. They talk about leading and lagging indicators, avoiding point-in-time KPIs and the need to report how we're improving the program over time.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 233 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!
 
This week we're joined by long-time entrepreneur Barry Bradham. Barry tells us that in order to be a more resilient employee, we need to be curious, demonstrate value, and to think like a business owner. He adds that it's important that we understand what we're good at, and where we add the most value. But more importantly, the people around you must also understand that. He says, when they do - they will want you around them. The goal: To replace chaos with structure.
