Advocating for Resilience Frameworks
Simon’s advocacy began at age 20, when he proposed the creation of an Emergency Coordination Unit for the Water Industry – ensuring newly privatised companies had statutory support to plan and respond to reasonable worst-case scenarios. Today, that same ethos drives his call for an Office of National Resilience in the UK, a body to embed resilience across infrastructure, communities, and governance. These articles will explore how resilience must be treated as civic infrastructure, drawing on decades of lived expertise in science, consultancy, and creative practice.
Resilience as Civic Infrastructure
We argue that resilience should be treated as civic infrastructure – embedded into education, utilities, and financial systems. Our advocacy highlights how mentorship and scenario exercises can strengthen communities against disruption.
Technology Leadership for the Public Good
Drawing on decades of experience in mission-critical systems, we advocate for technology leadership that prioritizes reliability, compliance, and accessibility. This includes frameworks for disaster recovery and operational continuity.
Inclusive Continuity Planning
Our advocacy emphasizes inclusion – ensuring continuity planning accounts for SEN communities, diverse workforces, and vulnerable populations. Philanthropic support enables us to extend opportunities beyond commercial constraints.
