In a second revealing study of business resilience and risk, IBM asked 390 IT managers and executives from across three continents how their business resilience and risk strategies were working together — or not working together — to provide more holistic business continuity and help them leverage competitive opportunities.
Download the "2011 IBM Global Business Resilience and Risk Study" to explore the key trends driving these critical business strategies and gain valuable insights:
- How organizations are adapting to an increasingly complex global environment with more holistic approaches to business resilience planning
- Why larger organizations are more than twice as likely to have an integrated business resilience strategy — and more likely to have a single executive tasked with this imperative
- How organizations are diversifying their strategies to build business resilience, while keeping continuity, IT and compliance risks in the forefront
- Why 56 percent of respondents say that their CIOs collaborate with top IT strategies much more frequently than five years ago
- How and why cloud computing is being intensely considered as a potential risk management tool.
