Section 1 is the overview and detailed summary of the research and should be read first. For risk professionals and senior executives who wish to gain a rapid insight into the conclusions of the research, it is recommended that Section 2 is read next. It gives a clear picture of the advantages of resilience and describes the overarching principle of ‘risk radar’. Then, risk professionals can go to Section 7, which explains the implications for risk professionals and provides examples of resilience practices. Board members can go to Section 8, which summarises the lessons and challenges for board members and the implications for leadership and governance . Additionally, risk professionals are especially encouraged to read Sections 2 to 6 on the five principles of resilience. These sections give a clear idea of the capabilities that the case study organisations have created and provides a structure for other organisations to use to identify their level of resilience.
