Resilience Barometer®
The FTI Consulting South Africa Resilience Barometer® provides a guideline to companies on how to navigate the continuing disruption and uncertainty and increase their resilience: that is, to ensure they are prepared for whatever comes next. At the dawning of the post-pandemic era, facing unprecedented technological disruptions, rapidly outdating business models and the exposure of socioeconomic fault lines – of which there will be far-reaching repercussions – C-Suites confront a concoction of risk. And looming over this mix, exacerbated by rising unemployment, ongoing corruption and financial criminality abetted by cybersecurity threats is the concern of new vaccine-resistant COVID-19 variants. How companies emerge into the light of day will depend on their resilience — their ability to successfully mitigate the risks and threats through informed insights and solid preparation.
