Every organization will inevitably have to deal with business disruptions. Business continuity, operational risk, cyber security and vendor risk managers run programs to prevent, detect and respond to disruptive incidents.
Since the very start of powered aviation, this industry has (arguably) done more than any other to eliminate and manage reliability and safety risk. This has led to a unique culture with standards, methods, procedures, and technologies that turned an intrinsically vulnerable mode of travel into the world’s safest means of transport.
How was the aviation industry able to do this? What are the key lessons that can guide other industries towards improved resilience? During this conference, specialists will share how resilience, safety and reliability was built into aircraft, airline operations, air traffic control systems and procedures, avionics systems and operations, aviation cyber systems, as well as pilot training & operations.
Critical to its success is rigorous preparation through safety drills and contingency plans, which other sectors can emulate. It prioritizes robust communication systems to simultaneously manage numerous interrelated components, highlighting the importance of clear, swift communication channels industry-wide. Aviation also leverages technology in mitigating risks, demonstrating how sectors can deploy smart technology solutions for real -time risk management. Lastly, its commitment to personnel training, fostering a culture of readiness and adaptability, shows other industries the value of regular staff training in fortifying operational resilience.
This conference is for anyone professionally involved in business resilience or business continuity - but you’re also welcome if you just like to know more about aviation resilience. Experts in aviation will share how flying has become the safest means of transport, and what other industries can learn from that.
