Hidden Risk Connections Are Threatening Operational Resilience

- Operational risk blind spots often emerge between cyber, supplier, geopolitical, workforce and physical risks
- AI can process intelligence at scale, but human verification remains essential
- Benchmarking should identify capability gaps rather than provide a template to copy
- Industry-wide intelligence can turn other firms’ incidents and near misses into early warnings
- External intelligence must be mapped to internal dependencies and predefined actions to create predictive resilience
