Roads to Resilience
Airmic formally announced that it has signed an agreement with Cranfield University to produce a follow-up to its much acclaimed and highly influential report ‘Roads to Ruin’. Whereas the first report examined the factors behind corporate failure, the second one has been given the title ‘Roads to Resilience’. As the name implies, it will look into the factors that enable companies to avoid or successfully negotiate crises.
