How do you build resilience into a transport system that’s already stretched thin?

In this episode of The Prepared Leader, Helen Lipscombe speaks with resilience leader Joanna Grove-Lafarge about why transport systems are under pressure like never before, and what organisations can do about it.

From the Heathrow power outage to the Iberian grid failure, Joanna shares real-world lessons on the hidden fragility of our transport infrastructure, the risks of modern tech on ageing systems, and how leaders can prepare for what they can’t control.

You’ll learn:

• Why interdependencies matter more than ever
• How to lead through cascading disruptions
• The value of scenario-agnostic planning in fast and slow crises

If you work in transport, infrastructure, or business continuity, this one’s for you.
