Program leaders are expected to deliver consistent outcomes despite disruptions, compliance shifts, and resource constraints. Traditional risk frameworks lack the agility to keep pace, leaving teams over-indexed on documentation rather than adaptive capacity. Without structured resilience practices, even well-designed initiatives can falter under pressure.
