Operational Resilience in Practice is a practical guide for operational resilience, operational risk, business continuity and compliance professionals responsible for turning resilience into an effective organizational capability.

Written by former regulator and experienced resilience professional Chris Knox, this book provides practical guidance across the entire operational resilience lifecycle.
