Business Resilience Index 2026

Understand what business resilience looks like today: how it’s defined, what enables it, what holds it back, and how to measure it.

From cyber-attacks and regulatory shifts to supply chain fragility and economic uncertainty, businesses are being tested in more ways than ever before. And yet, few have a clear sense of how resilient they really are and how they might compare to their peers. 

 

That’s why we at Six Degrees commissioned the Business Resilience Index 2026. By reading the report you will understand what business resilience looks like today: how it’s defined, what enables it, what holds it back, and most importantly, how to measure it.
