An afternoon of new research, perspectives and practical advice about building resilience

Uncertainty has become part of doing business. The NFP Business Resilience Report 2027 reveals a clear insight: resilience is not built in silos.

Workforce challenges, employment rights, cyber threats, operational disruption, and cost pressures are increasingly interconnected, placing businesses under pressure from several directions at once.

Leaders may feel confident in their ability to navigate disruption. But is that confidence supported by the capabilities they will need when it inevitably arrives?

Join us at Aon’s office in the iconic Leadenhall Building for the launch of our NFP Business Resilience Report 2027; a forward look at how businesses are building resilience to prepare for 2027 and beyond.

Research to help you get ahead in your market

Our report, based on a survey of 500 senior decision-makers and business leaders across the UK and Ireland, examines how businesses perceive their resilience across six interconnected areas of risk. It explores whether confidence is supported by the planning, investment and capabilities needed to withstand disruption, and where opportunities exist to build greater resilience.

We will reveal the findings from our research and share what that means for you, your leaders and your people.

We're excited to introduce you to our special guest speakers

Kirsty Murphy MBE

Top 10 Inspirational Keynote Speaker 2026

As the first and only female Red Arrows pilot, Kirsty Murphy MBE brings a unique perspective on resilience from a career shaped by adversity, complex situations, risk and decision-making under extreme pressure.

Recounting her experience at the highest level of aviation, Kirsty will explore how organisational resilience is built through preparation, continuous learning and collective accountability - not shortcuts.

Lessons in resilience from the world of elite sport

Thanks to our partnership with the Netball Players Association (NPA), we’re very lucky to be joined by Genevieve, the body’s Legal Director, and Gabby, ex-England International turned Player Development Manager.

At a time when many businesses are cutting back on people programmes, Genevieve and Gabby will share the importance of investing in human sustainability, and how the NPA are working with NFP to support their athletes’ long-term capability and wellbeing.
