Introduction:

Operational resilience represents a structured discipline that enables organizations to maintain critical functions under disruption while preserving stability and stakeholder confidence. The leadership dimension focuses on aligning governance, risk management, and operational capabilities to ensure continuity across complex and interconnected environments. This training program examines the governance architecture and analytical structures that define operational resilience within organizations. It presents the conceptual models, planning frameworks, resilience structures, interdependency mapping mechanisms, and evaluation approaches used to organize and sustain operational resilience.

Program Objectives:
