- Abstract:
-
Pandemics, by their very nature, are unpredictable. Global infectious disease specialists may not be able to pinpoint when the next pandemic will strike or its severity, but the consensus among public health officials is that it is a matter of when, not if. Nonetheless, uncertainty makes planning difficult. Most companies – even critical infrastructure organizations such as financial institutions – find it challenging to direct executives’ time, the necessary resources, and an appropriate budget for pandemic preparation. Pandemic planning is part of enhancing enterprise resiliency. It supplements the business continuity planning (BCP) work you have already done. Thus, substantive pandemic preparation will make your organization more resilient for any event it is likely to face.
The executive roundtable of financial services executives and this white paper were made possible through a grant provided by Roche.
