Redefining Resiliency
We live in a global interconnected world, and systemic crises like COVID-19 are more likely than ever. The pandemic has demonstrated that resiliency is now a business imperative. Digital technology and processes have proven to be critical to modern enterprise resiliency. However, traditional approaches to business resiliency are not enough; these programs typically focus on safeguarding distinct enterprise functions or businesses on a fragmented basis. Traditional approaches to IT risk and disaster recovery are also being challenged. Old approaches have proven wanting. Organizations must not only respond fast to threats but also learn to opportunistically rise above them. Our new digital world calls out for a new technology-enabled approach to deal with future crises — this is what we call digital resiliency.

The Digital Resiliency Framework
Digital Resiliency is the ability for an organization to rapidly adapt to business disruptions by leveraging digital capabilities to not only restore business operations, but also capitalize on the changed conditions. Within this context, the IDC Digital Resiliency Framework includes 3 phases of response to a crisis, six organizational dimensions that are all enabled with a shared technology / digital architecture for each dimension we outline critical business outcomes and link these to specific digital resiliency use cases relevant for each phase, enabled by specific technology investments.
