I first proposed an Office of National Resilience in March 2025. The idea hasn’t changed, the urgency has.

The UK needs a single, visible, accountable body to lead National preparedness across government, industry, and civil society. https://t.co/AqGx0UVjYb

Series finale.
The final article in Resilience at the Margins asks the simplest question in the series: are the Overseas Territories a burden to be managed or an asset to be developed?

Part 3 of our Resilience at the Margins series: The Monroe Doctrine and the British Flag.

British territories in the Caribbean have coexisted with US hemispheric claims on the basis of allied restraint. That assumption is dangerous.

Business Continuity and Resilience Awareness Week starts today.

The UK's Resilience Action Plan covers infrastructure, supply chains, communities. It does not mention the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, or any of the 14 Overseas Territories.

From our creative hub:

We are pleased to welcome Catrin Griffith Jones to the Tapping Frog book. She is a triple threat, with stage combat and puppeteering.

Most BC teams map supplier, tech and site dependencies.

Few map their own workforce.

Demographic concentration is a dependency. Dependencies create single points of failure, that belong on the risk register.

Most organisations design redundancy into their systems. Almost none design it into their continuity function.

A fractional BC partner provides resilience for the resilience function itself. Independent. Proportionate. Available when it matters.

We underinvest in BC, civil protection and defence for the same reason people skip insurance: it feels cheaper, until it isn’t.

When capability erodes, the cost of acting on principle rises – and strategic room disappears.

[Simon Boor @simon_boor]

We underinvest in the systems we hope we’ll never need: insurance, business continuity, defence.

The result? When we act on principle, the strategic cost is higher than it should be - and our ability to push back against allies is limited.

We are delighted to welcome Joseph Lloyd Rosser to our roster of artists. Joseph is an actor focused on stage and screen, with a past career in chemistry and nuclear physics. #tappingfrog

[Tapping Frog @tapping_frog]

Make sure you remain alert - especially when out in public. Have food, water, first aid, cash, and methods of communication on hand in order to sustain you and your family through any potential disruptions.

[Tapping Frog @tapping_frog]

With the long expected outbreak of hostilities between the US/Israel and Iran, the threat of asymmetric responses including terrorism will be elevated. This will not be restricted to the region.

This would be a time to review your resilience position.

We’ve represented Gibsa Bah since 2019, when we signed him as a 17‑year‑old with extraordinary potential. Since then he has built an impressive early career.

This week, he began rehearsals for Starlight Express in Bochum, Germany – his next milestone

New article: What Business Continuity Can Learn from Software Development

BC becomes stronger when it adopts the discipline of software development - independent testing, continuous improvement, and clear decision authority.

Resilience cannot be improvised.

It must be led, coordinated and verified.

The UK needs a Cabinet-level Office of National Resilience to strengthen preparedness and reduce strategic vulnerability.

The risks have grown. The gap remains.

We work across creative production, continuity, and tech. Filmmaking teaches practical lessons for resilience: scenario thinking, rehearsal, calm crisis leadership, and iterative improvement.

We’ve refreshed the Tapping Frog site and formally launched two new areas alongside our Creative Hub: a Consultancy Hub - focused on business continuity, resilience, and technology - and an Education Hub.

If you’re curious, feel free to take a look.
