Our sponsor Sungard Availability Services have some interesting observations on how resilience is a major byword at this years World Cup, both on and off the pitch. Many managers, pundits and players have mentioned how resilience plays a major part in knockout competions, where matchs come thick and fast and recovery times are short. It is of equal importance behind the scenes too, for those managing the events, security, hosting and televising of each game across a wide spread of venue locations. Check out the article with Sungard AS Head of Resilience Sandra Bell...
