Building Programmes That Reflect Real-World Interdependencies
We’re launching three to four major resilience-focused programmes in 2026. That’s because the industries we work with—whether infrastructure-critical or consumer-facing—are navigating a potent mix of pressure points. Economic volatility. Geopolitical friction. Escalating cyber threats. Climate-driven disruption. These risks aren’t isolated—they’re concurrent, compounding, and converging fast.
Interconnecting Human, Physical, and Digital Resilience
In every conversation, industry leaders are coming back to the same demands: adaptability, redundancy, and readiness. Not just in IT or asset engineering—but across their entire operational layers: physical, digital, and human.
They want to know how to anticipate, absorb, and respond without defaulting to outdated incident response models. In the words of one Strategic Head Of Asset Management for an international water utility "if your resilience still starts at incident response, you're already behind the curve".
From Freeze Outs to Forever Chemicals: Designing Resilience by Threat Type
In oil and gas, resilience means preparing for extremes: flood, fire, freeze. In automotive, it’s software stability, autonomous safety, and raw material scarcity. In water, it’s climate shocks, chemical infiltration, and flood-resilient infrastructure. These risks are no longer emerging—they're embedded. Boardrooms aren't just noticing them; they're being forced to prioritise resilience as a central operational lens.
Hybrid Risk in Transport: Why Cyber-Only Thinking Falls Short
Deploying systems like ETCS requires workforce readiness, systems integration, and defence against hybrid risk. It’s not just cyber anymore—it’s cyber-physical convergence. And it’s forcing asset owners to think differently about what "uptime" and "resilience" really mean when the threatscape spans both control rooms and cloud stacks.
What Operators & End Users Are Actually Doing to Build Resilience That Works
Our approach remains rooted in what operators need to execute, not what vendors want to sell. That means real case studies, honest failure analysis, and frameworks that reflect operational reality—not speculative posturing. It’s not about surviving the next disruption. It’s about engineering systems that evolve faster than the risks they face.
