Summary.
There’s a major governance gap inside most organizations: No single executive is accountable for coordinating enterprise-wide resilience and recovery when failures cascade across functions.When disruption strikes a modern enterprise, the greatest damage often comes not from the initial event but from how failures spread through connected systems. A technical fault takes down digital infrastructure. That outage halts operations, delays products and services, and disrupts customers. Financial losses and regulatory consequences follow. Each failure may start in a specific system, but its effects spread across entire organizations.
