'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In the second episode of the special Resilience Sessions, recorded at the Resilience World Nexus Summit in London, we explore why resilience is moving beyond risk management to become a strategic business priority. Globalisation, technology and interconnected supply chains have delivered enormous efficiency and growth, but they have also created new dependencies and vulnerabilities.

Dave and Rob are joined by Dr. Abhilash Panda, Deputy Chief, Interagency Cooperation and Partnerships Branch at United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction to explore why resilience is no longer simply about recovering from disruption. It is about building organisations that can adapt, survive and create value in an increasingly unpredictable world.
