Good resilience comes from a combination of measures. It\u2019s about looking across front, middle and back office operations, and across physical, operational and technology\/cybersecurity domains. It means rigorously managing, monitoring and improving the aspects that are under your control, such as your own systems, platforms and processes; influencing what you can\u2019t directly control, such as the resilience measures in your supply chain; and being aware of wider factors beyond your sphere so you can prepare as far as possible, such as geopolitical events, foreign exchange rates, and tax and regulatory developments.<\/p>\n

Another useful approach that we support clients with is to think in terms of your \u2018Minimum Viable Company\u2019 (MVC)<\/a>. The example I have linked to focuses on consumer and retail businesses, but it applies to any sector. The MVC concept involves drilling down to identify the most essential parts of your company that are critical to your survival and success in the event of a major incident. This helps businesses focus on what really matters and take targeted steps to strengthen defences and resilience.<\/p>\n

We also help many clients boost a specific kind of resilience \u2013 financial resilience \u2013 through our Cognitive Contract Management<\/a> solution. This is an AI-powered capability that KPMG has developed which analyses unstructured data such as contracts and invoices to identify potential revenue leakage, offering a more comprehensive approach than traditional sample checking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good resilience comes from a combination of measures.
