Today’s resilience leaders face a rapidly expanding mandate.
From business continuity and crisis management to IT disaster recovery, third-party risk, and beyond—expectations are higher than ever. But technical skill and resilience knowledge alone isn’t enough.
To truly lead, you need influence
In this new Bryghtpath report, we explore what separates good resilience programs from great ones—and what elevates a practitioner into a trusted advisor.
We break down how to build real influence across your organization by reframing your role, investing time strategically, and building the relationships that matter most.
You'll learn how to:
- Reframe your role from tactical executor to strategic enabler
- Align your program with enterprise strategy and business priorities
- Develop executive presence and speak the language of the C-suite
- Build trust-based relationships across functions and leadership levels
- Prioritize where you invest your time to accelerate your influence
- Lead effectively through increasing complexity and organizational change
