Back in 2015, there were many consultancy and insurance reports which looked at global business risks and made predictions for the year ahead. Although these had value, none of them specifically utilized the experience and expertise that existed within the professional resilience community.<\/h2>\n

It was thus decided to launch an annual trends and predictions report which was based entirely on the knowledge and opinions of the professional resilience community. Styled as \u201cfor the profession, by the profession\u201d this soon became essential reading for many in the business continuity, disaster recovery, crisis management and emergency management fields. It also provided valuable information to overlapping professions such as enterprise risk management and cyber security. The combination of these specializations largely represents what has come to be known as “Resilience Management”.<\/p>\n

In recent years the report has been divided into Trends (published in December) and Predictions (published in January). This blog today will give you the highlights of the findings of the Trends Report and a further blog next month will discuss the Predictions Report. Both reports are written by the DRI Future Vision Committee (FVC) under my chairmanship. The FVC consists of resilience thought leaders from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, all of whom are experts in various aspects of resilience management. The reports are also supported by the views of DRI professionals in the annual survey which is also coordinated by the FVC.<\/p>\n

The Trends Report is based on a survey of more than 500 professionals across all industries and sectors, the largest response in the report\u2019s history. The report provides a full breakdown of all results in seven different world regions, all major business sectors and shows how regulation impacts priorities. It also looks at comparative results for different type and size of organization. The full report is available and can be downloaded from www.drii.org<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 I am grateful to DRI International for allowing me to share some of the findings with readers of the Resilience Hub.<\/p>\n

Trends Report and the Resilience Index<\/h1>\n

A key element of the Trends Report is the Resilience Index which uses a combination of probability and impact to rank the importance of issues to resilience professionals. The 2023 Resilience Index below shows the current top 10 business issues that are impacting the ability of organizations to meet their resilience goals. These were ranked by survey participants in the annual survey.<\/p>\n
