Think You're Resilient? Well, Think Again.
Five Days. Five Assumptions to Challenge.
18 May: "Think you're safe from modern threats? Think again!"
Hybrid warfare isn't just military — it's cyber-attacks, disinformation, economic pressure, and supply chain exploitation that slip past traditional security.
Focus: Why old-school plans aren't enough and how to prepare smarter, faster, and more proactively.
19 May: "Think your crisis drills make you ready? Think again!"
Scenario planning and tabletop exercises are useful, but they can create false confidence. Real crises move faster and hit harder than any rehearsal.
Focus: How to stress-test plans and build flexibility so your organisation can adapt when the unexpected happens.
20 May: "Think you've planned for climate risks? Think again!"
Climate change is already disrupting operations, supply chains, and regulatory landscapes, not a future problem, a present one.
Focus: How climate risks act as a multiplier and the steps to make resilience plans genuinely climate-ready.
21 May: "Think external shocks stay external? Think again!"
Geopolitics, supplier failures, and disasters don't stay outside your walls, they ripple through networks and hit home fast.
Focus: How to spot hidden dependencies and strengthen resilience across your entire ecosystem.
22 May: "Think your leadership culture can handle crisis? Think again!"
In disruption, rigid leadership fails. Resilient leaders adapt, communicate clearly, and build trust under pressure.
Focus: What agile, "antifragile" leadership looks like and how to build a culture that thrives in uncertainty.

BCAW represents an opportunity for the profession to reflect on how far it has come. From the early days when continuity planning was often viewed as an IT exercise, to today’s integrated approach to organizational resilience
