Aside from leading executives/expert speakers from the field of operational resilience and stimulating agenda topics, the calibre of attendees at our live operational resilience round table (10:00 -11:30 GMT on 26^th November) means this is going to be a really engaging discussion!

We have just a few spots left if you want to register and join the conversation on how Financial Services can better collaborate to minimize disruptions of important business services.

 

Here’s a sneak preview of some of the topics we’ll cover:

1. Karen Guttierez, Senior Advisor, Operational Resilience at the Bank of England: will share early, pre-publication findings from the regulators’ consultation paper and, with audience participation, we’ll explore whether the feedback might lead to institutions changing the direction they’re taking. Like me, I’m sure we’d all like the chance to hear how industry can collaborate with the regulators to achieve a balanced approach to operational resilience. For example – how can firms set their own standards rather than be stifled by a one-size-fits-all approach handed down from the regulator? Can costly solutions be avoided? I’m eager to hear what we can come up with.

 

2. During COVID-19 many firms coped well moving staff and equipment to traditional off-site centres. Has it given the Industry a false sense of security? Is it really ready to face all potential risks? COVID-19 affected all countries, industries and firms simultaneously, and gave firms enough time to prepare. But, disruptions will likely come in the shape of multiple concurrent events. Are firms ready to face those disruptions and can they identify all the ‘severe but plausible scenarios’ they might face?
3. Can stress testing be automated? Would the ultimate dream model be to have all connections in place and then simply to be able to ‘poke and prod’ to see the impact of potential stresses on the ecosystem – could this be done via a digital twin?

 

4. With Adam Heppell, Lead, Digital Engineering and Manufacturing, Capgemini, we’ll explore best practices from Aerospace – accustomed to operating under stringent regulatory control, with more complex supply chains, increasing data. Can this industry’s holistic approach to designing an airplane with all stresses and impacts done virtually with full traceability, be applied to financial services?

 

The event is a real opportunity to find answers to the many challenges posed by operational resilience. Do join us at 10.00-11.30 GMT Thursday 26 November to find out more.
