Episode 228 - Understanding Blast Radius in Resilience - Mark Hoffman

Mark recently posted a poll on LinkedIn, asking if people use the phrase "blast radius". Some of you said yes, you use it, but most said no. And others expressed concern about the phrase itself. Let's dig into it.

 

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 228 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!   This week Mark takes a few minutes to share the concept of 'blast radius' and its use in terms of business resilience strategies.   He starts by addressing the thoughtful comments of our colleagues regarding the phrase and how it may not be received well in some settings. But whether you use the term blast radius or impact radius, the concepts are worth noting. Mark talks about Concentration risk,  and says that “Resilience isn’t about preventing failure—it’s about preventing failure from becoming catastrophic.”
