In today's environment of economic uncertainty, waning shareholder confidence, and terrorism, organizations must focus more on building more resilient business and operating models to minimize the impact of unforeseen shocks. Indeed, "enterprise resilience" is likely to become the new benchmark for organizations seeking to maintain and improve the confidence of their stakeholders. Choosing the right resiliency strategy requires understanding vulnerabilities, mitigation options, and economic trade-offs. The mitigation of risks to company earnings drivers is accomplished in various ways, from the development of better business continuity and crisis management plans to the implementation of fundamental changes in the business models and supply chain strategy. Booz Allen Hamilton, the world's leading strategy and technology consulting firm for government and commercial enterprises, has been a leader in promoting the need for and showing the path toward resilience. This book collects some of the research reports and thought pieces published by Booz Allen from 2001 through 2003, and published by the firm in the quarterly journal "strategy+business" and elsewhere. Several of the pieces are by senior Booz Allen consultants; some are written by distinguished academics or journalists. All reflect our desire to help organizations reconnoiter their increasingly interdependent environments.
