Executive Summary

This report explores how resilience strategy planning and implementation is moving from the realm of reactive recovery into resilience by design, enabled by next-generation technologies. Through market insights and industry examples, Verdantix highlights how AI, machine learning (ML), automation and digital twins are enabling smarter, faster and more adaptive organizational responses. However, despite the opportunities, the path to adoption is fraught with the challenges of legacy systems, cultural resistance, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, data quality gaps and unclear return on investment (ROI) – all of which are holding firms back. With resilience fast becoming a competitive imperative, risk executives should read this report to navigate the deployment of emerging technologies into their technology landscape and existing risk strategies.
