The year 2021 represented another historic period of resilience, during which businesses began to spring back from the pandemic lockdowns of 2020. Yet, many senior leaders and boards found themselves navigating their people and assets through the impact of new COVID variants and other critical events, such as severe weather, bushfires, cyber-attacks, IT outages, and more.

Businesses hoping to exit 2021 with momentum will face new challenges and evolving threats in 2022. Despite the positive strides taken in 2021, a return to normal business functions has not taken place. Stresses to supply chains, economic instability, social unrest, and health risks set the tone for the year, leaving organizations to assess their risk landscape and regroup in hopes of finding more productive ways to tackle 2022.
