Minimum Viable Enterprise: Defining What your Organisation Needs to Survive

If you had to reduce your organisation to its minimum viable state tomorrow, would your leadership team agree on what stays operational?
Business continuity programmes identify critical activities, dependencies and recovery requirements, but when severe disruption threatens the viability of the entire organisation, a bigger question emerges: can your existing continuity arrangements collectively sustain the business?
This is where the Minimum Viable Enterprise (MVE) concept comes in. An MVE establishes an agreed minimum operating state that allows an organisation to survive a highly severe and prolonged disruption. Building on existing business continuity arrangements, it brings together operational priorities, resource constraints, financial viability and leadership decisions into a coherent approach.
Join our resilience experts, Andy Hall and Nils Kjellgren for a practical discussion on how defining your MVE can help leadership make difficult trade-offs before a crisis forces them to.
In this webinar, we'll explore:
What an MVE adds to existing BIAs, continuity plans, and recovery strategies.
How to establish minimum operating requirements, critical dependencies, and the limits of what your organisation can sustain.
How leadership can reconcile competing priorities, allocate scarce resources, and agree on what must continue.
How to develop, validate and exercise your MVE, using existing arrangements and external expertise where needed.
Who should attend?
Business continuity and operational resilience leaders, crisis managers, enterprise risk professionals, and senior executives responsible for maintaining organisational viability through severe disruption.
We look forward to welcoming you!
