Application Impact Analysis Mandate for Resilience in 2025. Application impact analysis: a risk-based approach to business continuity and disaster recovery has suddenly become a highly relevant reference architecture because the failure pattern has changed. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery used to fail loudly—a system went down, everyone noticed, and you rallied. However, in 2025, systems can stay online while outcomes go wrong. As AI agents and automation accelerate decisions, silent failures now create the biggest risk: wrong approvals, wrong payments, wrong triage, and wrong compliance calls—often fueled by poor data quality, broken integrations, and unseen dependency chains. Consequently, “restoring systems” is no longer the finish line. Leaders must restore correct outcomes, protect decision integrity, and prove accountability across applications, data pipelines, and AI-driven workflows. High-level AIA process (1–7) Scope the key applications and mission-critical services Define outcomes and assign an Intent Owner Tier criticality (what must recover first) Map dependencies (apps, data, integrations, AI) Quantify impact (downtime cost + wrong-outcome cost) Set targets (RTO/RPO + recovery order) Validate + operationalize (scenarios, controls, runbooks)

Malaysia Leadership & Abseiling became my unexpected blueprint for women in IT leadership—and a powerful reminder for CXOs: strategy matters, yet courage compounds. First, a leadership offsite in Kuala Lumpur aligned goals and execution. Then the rainforest forced a different kind of clarity—because team building turns real when fear shows up. As I leaned back into the rope system, I stopped chasing perfection and started choosing growth. Consequently, I carried home a simple executive lesson: trust the process, move anyway, and lead forward without performing. If you’re a woman leader navigating visibility, pressure, and high-stakes decisions, this story will reset how you define strength—and how you scale it.
