It is our pleasure to introduce the BCI Crisis Management Report 2024. We are once again extremely grateful to F24 for their continued sponsorship of this important report in our portfolio.
2024 has been a busy year for crisis management teams: fewer than a quarter of survey respondents (23.0%) reported zero activations of their crisis team in 2024, while over a sixth (17.3%) said that they had greater than five activations. The increasing number of activations can undoubtedly be linked to a growing, and increasingly unpredictable, threat landscape. Severe weather events are becoming more extreme and encroaching on previously ‘safe’ areas, global and civil conflicts are testing organizations’ resilience to new extremes, others are being forced to act to build counter-strategies for civil unrest and strikes, while cyber-crime continues its upwards trajectory with global conflicts now increasingly being mirrored in virtual landscapes.
