Building Resilience,

One Step at a Time

Learn how AWS teams foster and develop a culture of resilience

Resilient organizations can better withstand a crisis, recover from it more quickly, and often perform better than their competitors.

But building a truly resilient business is not easy to achieve.

At AWS, we know that in the real world, everything fails all the time. The goal is to prevent or minimize the impact of failures to the business and your customers. To do this, it can be helpful to think about your organization’s resilience journey as a sequence of four stepping stones:

  • Work backwards from the customer
  • Analyze the business with cross-functional teams
  • Learn from failures
  • Build a culture of resilience

Download the Building Resilience, One Step at a Time ebook to dive deeper into each step.

The right culture can ensure that resilience isn’t just a one-off initiative but an integral part of the organization."

    Disrupt or Be Disrupted: Cultivating Resilience Through Innovation

    Featuring AWS Enterprise Strategists Miriam McLemore, Chris Hennesey, and Clarke Rodgers

    The concept of 'business resilience' traditionally centers on an organization's capacity to handle failures and endure disruptions. However, truly resilient businesses go beyond mere response strategies; they proactively design and rigorously test plans to prevent such setbacks. In fact, the most resilient businesses don’t just withstand disruption, they create it. 

    In this discussion, AWS Enterprise Strategists Miriam McLemore, Chris Hennesey, and Clarke Rodgers will explore the notion of business resilience through the lens of a 'disruptor’s mindset.' They will highlight how embracing innovation not only fosters a competitive edge, but also propels the entire industry forward.
