True - organisations need to enhance their resilience in order to survive and prosper in a world of increasing change. Risk management is one approach - based on new and proactive approach to the concept of risk management.

Alas, I fear even that is not enough to build adequate resilience. The needed step is to be 100% purpose driven, i.e. focused on what you provide for your customer.
- Are you selling mortgages …. no, you are enabling people have homes
- Are you selling cars … no, you are providing transport
- Are you selling "whatever" … probably no, you are providing some benefit to your customer

In short you have top know why your customers should buy your product - if you do not know, how should they.

Once you are very aware of what benefit (not product) you provide to whom, you can start ren-iventing your entire business system and money making logic by asking, "how can this benefit be provided more efficiently". If you don't, your worst competitor (which may not exist today) will, within a few years.

Pushing organisations to do this kind of is proactive strategic [risk] management, and very different from managing risk registers with qualitative assessments of risk, we have already taken.

Tools available are scenario analyses, war games, PESTEL analyses, etc. all known tools to the qualified risk manager.
