How to... build a resilient organisation with Cameron Holt

Resilience isn't a tick-box exercise — it's a strategic imperative.

Director and Head of Resilience at Alba Partners, Cameron Holt, joins host Jennifer Geary to demystify operational resilience — from the regulatory origins of the agenda through to what truly resilient organisations look like in today's turbulent geopolitical landscape.

Drawing on 17 years of financial services experience across Accenture, BCS Consulting, and now Alba Partners, Cameron explains how organisations can move beyond compliance and embed resilience by design into their strategy, operations, and culture.

You'll learn how to:

Move from regulatory compliance to genuine resilience by design.

Identify your most important business services and map their vulnerabilities.

Manage third-party risk as a core pillar of your resilience strategy.

Run scenario testing, war games, and crisis simulations that actually prepare you.

Use AI effectively — without creating "artificial resilience".

Think like a threat actor to find and close your organisation's open wounds.
