The 9th Annual Global Risk and Resilience Trends Report
Back in 2015 numerous consultancy and insurance reports looked at global business risks and made predictions for the year ahead. The reports didn’t utilize experience and expertise within the resilience community.
This was the catalyst for the DRI International’s 1st Annual Trends and Predictions report based on the opinions of the professional resilience community — “for the profession, by the profession” – business continuity, disaster recovery, crisis management, emergency management and eventually enterprise risk management and cyber security. Fast forward to 2023/24 and the launch of the 9th annual report across all industries and sectors. Lyndon Bird shares report highlights.

Emergency managers and public safety professionals are more frequently being called on to address increasingly more challenging and complex critical incidents, with a wider variety and intensity of hazards, threats, and community vulnerabilities. Much of the work that falls into the scope of emergency managers- prevention, preparedness, mitigation- is “blue sky planning” and can be contained and effectively managed within projects.
