At our event yesterday, six speakers shared their perspectives on crisis preparedness, hybrid threats, communication, cybersecurity, industrial cooperation and leadership under pressure.
Here are some of the key insights we took away:
1️⃣ Resilience starts long before a crisis – Dr. Ieva Gajauskaitė
No amount of training can fully prepare us for a real crisis. We are human, not machines. Resilience requires continuous preparation, clear responsibilities and systems that do not depend on one individual. Start with the small things, involve the entire organisation and ensure that responsibilities are shared.
2️⃣ Don't just bounce back. Become stronger – Jonas Survila
Resilience is about recovering from disruption, while anti-fragility goes a step further: becoming stronger through challenges. In the context of hybrid warfare, businesses must understand their vulnerabilities, anticipate different forms of threats and develop the ability to adapt rather than simply react.
3️⃣ In a crisis, silence is not a strategy – Balys Narbutas
Be the first to communicate. Be transparent, open and ready to answer difficult questions. Remaining silent or hiding information creates uncertainty and damages credibility. Effective crisis communication comes down to: showing that you care about the situation and demonstrating that you are doing something about it.
4️⃣ Test your resilience before someone else does – Romualdas Kuzborskis
Cybersecurity is not just about having protective measures in place. It is about knowing whether they actually work. Regular stress tests and exercises involving different teams help organisations identify weaknesses, improve coordination and prepare for real digital disruptions.
5️⃣ Resilience is built through partnerships – Michaela Fecko
Industrial cooperation, innovation and strong local supply chains are essential to long-term resilience. Working with local suppliers and developing partnerships can strengthen both businesses and the wider society. Ultimately, resilience is also about taking responsibility, demonstrating leadership and contributing to people's safety.
6️⃣ Resilience requires action, adaptability and courage – Jonas Ohman
Drawing on his experience with Blue/Yellow and Ukraine, Jonas highlighted the importance of a mindset that can adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. Challenges will continue to evolve, and preparation alone is not enough. Knowing who you are, bringing people together and having the courage to act are crucial when facing uncertainty.
