Exercising Resilience as a Leadership System

Author:

Director of Digital Experiences

Most organizations plan for disruption. Fewer measure how leadership actually performs under it.In this session moderated by iluminr CMO Paula Fontana, PenFed Credit Union Director of Enterprise Resiliency Hee-Won Yoon and iluminr Strategic Advisor James Hardy share how PenFed is developing an executive exercising program designed to make resilience a measurable leadership capability.

Their approach connects governance, operations, and cyber readiness through short, structured Microsimulations that generate real data on how leaders coordinate, decide, and recover.

For many organizations, these simulations represent a path to embedding resilience into leadership practice - supporting resilience reviews, resource alignment, and regulatory expectations for demonstrating strategic, operational, and cyber resilience.

Discussion topics:

  • How to structure executive exercising as part of governance and assurance
  • Building evidence of resilience performance across leadership teams
  • Using simulation data to improve oversight and meet regulatory standards

Resilience improves when it is managed like any other enterprise capability - through consistent practice, measurable progress, and leadership accountability.
