Alvin talked about business continuity and enterprise resilience in the Philippine context. He looked into the risks and challenges faced by Philippine organizations even before the pandemic, ranging from cybersecurity and data privacy threats, to environmental and regulatory shifts, to changes in consumer behavior and a greater reliance on increasingly complex ecosystems. He shared his insights and experience around business continuity and resilience and how organizations can reshape their businesses for current and future challenges.
