Disruption remains a constant for organizations, with the majority struggling to build resiliency into their operations, according to a survey from Orbus Software. In fact, although 89% of companies have experienced some form of disruption over the last two years, over half of enterprises are struggling to increase resiliency, with 44% lacking a dedicated team.

"With the tsunami of disruption that organizations have experienced, it's clear that operational resiliency needs prioritizing. Without creating agility, businesses leave themselves exposed to the whims of change and can expect their operations to continue to suffer,” says Rupert Colbourne, chief technology officer of Orbus Software.
