“Resilience doesn’t stop you falling off the bike — it helps you get back on.”
– Rick Cudworth
In this powerful episode of The Security Circle, host Yolanda is joined by organizational resilience expert Rick Cudworth, whose career spans engineering, technology, strategic risk, and leadership across some of the most complex environments — from chemical plants to the London 2012 Olympics and UK government preparedness for Brexit.
Rick unpacks the critical shift from reactive crisis planning to “Resilience by Design” — building organizational strength into systems, processes, and people before disruption strikes. He shares practical insights from leading readiness programs, including how to prepare teams to respond not just to major incidents, but to the everyday friction that derails operations.
Together, they explore:
- Why resilience is not just a plan, but a mindset and structure.
- How human purpose and well-being are central to a resilient workforce.
- Why we should focus less on “likelihood” and more on high-impact risk preparedness.
- The future of resilience — from AI and climate shocks to supply chain adaptation.
With powerful reflections on COVID, black swan events, stakeholder psychology, and personal resilience built through sport, Rick brings calm clarity to a chaotic world.
