Strengthen your organisation’s resilience in a disruptive world
Geoeconomic confrontation and geopolitical shifts can have immediate and severe impacts on companies’ operations, finance and workforce, often requiring rapid adaptation of strategy and business models.
For 2026 Resilience First’s Geostrategic Resilience Programme will address Hybrid Warfare and Operational Sovereignty.
The programme will move organisations beyond awareness to readiness. It will focus on understanding a hybrid warfare environment and the actions they can take to build their resilience while also contributing to a wider whole‑of‑society response to hybrid threats.
Delivered through a series of expert-led webinars and an immersive in-person wargaming workshop, the programme will equip you with the insights and strategies you need to assess and strengthen your organisation’s resilience in the face of geopolitical shifts and hybrid threats.
SESSION 3: Hybrid Threats to the UK and Business Operational Sovereignty
Tuesday 16 June, 13:00-14:30 BST, Online
We will look at how hybrid warfare specifically poses a threat to UK organisations and why it is now all the more important to maintain operational sovereignty. It will map the evolving threat landscape and provide guidance on embedding hybrid risk scenarios into enterprise risk management, crisis response, and resilience planning.
