ABSTRACT
At first glance, large multinational companies such as Dow, DuPont, IBM, Royal Dutch Shell, Siemens and Swiss Re are resilient companies: they each have been around for over a century. But the future is volatile. The challenge these companies face today is how to help strengthen societal resilience in the face of increasing systemic turbulence caused by resource and environmental stresses – posing new risks to business continuity and therefore to their existence over the next 100 years.
