Episode description

📢 “A resilient business is one which is capable, not just of withstanding shocks but is also capable of harnessing them; taking that energy and using it in creative ways to propel itself”.

In this episode, we hear Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG International, speak to Serhiy Kovela and David Roberts about building resilience in business.

Serhiy and David explain why sustainability sets a resilient business apart. “What makes resilience different is that we are looking to the sustainability of the organization as well as its progress”

We cover their definitions of resilience and talk about developing a ‘pace’ culture, before asking them about how the business resilience framework they created fits with existing business practices. 

We dive into the relationship between building a resilient business and executing a new corporate strategy before asking our guests if building a resilient business is either a marathon or a sprint.

If you want to discover what organizations can do to become more resilient and prepare for the future, listen in to today’s episode.
