Novel, fast, interconnected disruptions are the new normal for public- and private-sector institutions. Organizations that navigate them correctly create a competitive advantage that can last for a decade. Yet very few have systematically built the capabilities needed to thrive in them.
Founded in 2011, McKinsey Response and Resilience has helped more than 1,000 firms navigate such disruptions, including support to more than 250 organizations during existential crises. We build distinctive early warning systems, create proactive action and escalation operations, develop pragmatic business continuity plans and programs, and train the next generation of leaders to be resilient.
During major disruptions, we stabilize organizations through a nerve center team-of-teams approach and drive actions to help the institution pivot and thrive.
Our three focus areas encompass:
- supply chain resilience for industrial, aerospace, and automotive manufacturers
- climate adaptation for federal and state public-sector institutions
- critical infrastructure defense for energy, telecommunications, banks, and public-sector institutions
Our experts include the former head of the Navy SEALs, top leaders in the Coast Guard and FEMA, and business continuity leaders for major financial institutions.
