MVC Blueprint - Building Your Minimum Viable Company
Most organisations know what good looks like. What they don't have is a clear answer to a simpler question: what's the absolute minimum we need to keep functioning before things tip into recovery, resolution, or regulatory action?
Alongside that, they're missing pre-agreed trigger points - the warning signs that tell you something needs to happen now, not after the next Board meeting. And they rarely have a single view that tells them, at any given moment, whether the organisation is still viable.
The four phases of the MVC Blueprint fill that gap. Define the floor. Design the capabilities that hold you above it. Build them properly. Then govern them so they stay current.
What this unlocks for you:
✓ Clarity on your floor - the point below which lies regulatory intervention, resolution, or insolvency
✓ Board-ready language for communicating viability under pressure
✓ Faster, cleaner decisions when it matters most
✓ A credible answer when the regulator asks: how do you keep going when things go wrong?
✓ A practical first step you can take next week
Who this is for:
- Risk & resilience leaders: CROs, Heads of Operational Resilience, and Operational Risk Directors who need a defensible, Board-ready answer to viability under stress.
- COOs & operations directors: Leaders responsible for keeping the organisation functioning under severe, prolonged disruption.
-
Compliance & regulatory leaders: Directors navigating PRA and FCA expectations on operational resilience and the next frontier beyond impact tolerances.
- Board & ExCo members: Senior leaders who need a single, credible view of organisational viability - not a report for the drawer.
