Key takeaways

Make radical changes to major risk preparedness.

Organisations should profoundly adjust how they prepare for major risks given recent events in order to improve their long-term resilience.

Test multiple risk scenarios.

It’s important for organisations to be more adventurous with the type of scenarios they’re planning for so they are better prepared for emerging and converging risks.

Take on a broad view of risks.

Organisations should not focus solely on protecting their business from the current crisis, but keep an eye on ever-present and emerging risks.
