A business may still own buildings, equipment and inventory, yet much of its ability to use those assets depends upon software, data and connectivity working at the right moment. According to Unbroken Links by Dr Uppiliappan Gopalan, this single shift explains why technology risk can no longer sit quietly inside the IT department.
Beyond Cyberattack: The Quieter Forms of Technology Risk
System failure, ageing infrastructure, poor integration, limited scalability and platform dependency can each alter business performance long before any dramatic outage occurs. A company can run comfortably on a system designed for a smaller operation until growth quietly turns that system into a constraint.
The Questions Leadership Should Be Asking
Which activities depend upon one platform, how much volume can the current architecture handle, where does manual work compensate for design weakness, and how quickly could an ageing system be restored after a serious interruption? These questions, Dr Gopalan argues, turn a technical asset into a business dependency that leadership can genuinely understand and manage.
