    Apr 28 2025

    You’ve probably seen AI getting a lot of attention, as many resilience professionals have been posting AI generated action figures and even bobbleheads (….Mark). That’s cute. But this week’s guest says it’s time to take AI to a whole new level. And that’s just what we do.

    Hello everyone, and welcome to episode 182 of the Resilient Journey podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group!

    This week, we are thrilled to be joined by long time friend Gonzalo Vargas to talk about one of the hottest topics in our industry – Artificial Intelligence. But we’re taking a different approach as we look at how we as resilience professionals can leverage AI in our day-to-operation. Gonzalo encourages us to load our BCP data into private AI tools to review your business continuity or crisis management plan, leverage AI to do scenario analysis and to automate testing functionality.

    Gonz and Mark explore the idea of using AI to monitor media and social media outlets to see what is being said about your company during a crisis and to analyze the tone of your statements.

    And stay tuned to the end to hear Gonz share an AI prompt idea to give you better results.
