Organisations across the globe are facing strategic and operational challenges on account of the COVID-19 outbreak and the measures adopted to arrest the spread. Given the intensity of the situation and the uncertainty involved, business continuity and disaster recovery plans are being put under the lens and tested against the evolving challenges. To maintain business continuity and mitigate risks to ensure survival, organisations need to respond rapidly and robustly to the changing business environment.

As organisations strive to retain and restore lost ground, business leaders are required to evaluate key decisions and undertake critical steps that not only respond to the current business shocks but also reshape their business, and plan for a recovery model to thrive in a post COVID-19 era.

To support businesses and enable leaders navigate these challenging times more efficiently, we have created a special Insights series on Business Continuity and Risk Management. The publication highlights key areas of focus that business leaders should prioritise during a crisis along with effective alternatives and solutions to turn the tide.

We hope you find this publication interesting and insightful.
