Future Risks Through the Perspective of Business Continuity
摘要
Throughout the entirety of human history, from the primitive era of our cave-dwelling ancestors to the contemporary digital age, the task of predicting the daunting potential dangers and threats has remained one of the most formidable challenges that humanity has ever faced. Despite notable advancements achieved in various fields of knowledge, the world continues to grow increasingly complex and unpredictable, presenting new obstacles and disruptive evolutions that render the prediction of risks progressively more challenging with each passing moment. Moreover, as the pace of progress accelerates, the interdependence between risks and their potential outcomes grows ever stronger. A single new development or change has the potential to create new sources of risk, as it engenders a complex and multifaceted network of interconnectedness that becomes increasingly intricate with each passing moment. This article aims to draw a global picture of some major future risks from the perspective of business continuity while summarizing some past events, emphasizing the importance of Business Continuity Management, and supporting its main principles. There will be some predicted major global risks with global references and statistics in order to provide knowledge coming through the collective intelligence of the world. On the other hand, as it is highlighted in the last section, unfortunately, humankind has not been good at predicting emerging global events. That’s why it is seen that resiliency corresponding to the crisis must be strengthened.
