Abstract:

In today's highly competitive global business environment, the need for Enterprise Resilience has become paramount. Enterprises must anticipate and prepare for disruptions while effectively recovering, adapting, and learning from them. However, many companies lack practical resources to build resilience, despite the growing interest in the field. This research aims to bridge this gap by designing and validating a method that aligns Information Systems Management and Risk Management to enhance Enterprise Resilience. By leveraging key aspects from both fields, this method offers a practical framework for organizations to strengthen their resilience and gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, insights from industry experts, and validation through case studies, this research seeks to contribute to the practical advancement of Enterprise Resilience and its crucial role in navigating today's turbulent and interconnected risk landscape.
