Disrupt or Be Disrupted: Cultivating Resilience Through Innovation
September 2024
About the Episode
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.

In today's world, it's about getting rid of tech debt. It's about having platforms that can carry you into the future; the access to data that we need to leverage tools like generative AI. If you are a company that's behind in cloud, in generative AI, you've got an issue with your resiliency going forward."
