Introduction
Navigating the coronavirus pandemic has been, for many financial institutions, an exercise of forced adaptations, creative workarounds, and difficult choices. One of the most striking consequences is that the traditional way of managing risk and compliance fails when tested by fast-moving, interconnected risks, and that it needs changing.
Financial institutions and regulators are finally in agreement on the fact that now everything is on the table, and we have the opportunity to create positive, productive, and lasting change that will make financial institutions more resilient to face whatever crisis will come next.
The Financial Services industry needs to think about operational resilience in terms of not only preventing disruption, but also of restoring business and providing services seamlessly and continuously, no matter what hits.
Financial services firms need to elevate their traditional business continuity planning and disaster recovery to a more strategic, holistic set of capabilities because there WILL be a next crisis, and it could look very different from this one. The question that all banks and FI across America are really asking now is: Are we ready? Is our company operationally resilient? What have we learned from the current worldwide crisis?
