Minimum Viable Company
Tuesday 21 April, 13:00 - 14:00
The concept of the Minimum Viable Company (MVC) is gaining traction across financial services. MVC asks a more fundamental question: ''in a severe and prolonged disruption, what must our organisation remain in order to survive?''
While Operational Resilience has focused on maintaining important services, MVC introduces a broader and more challenging perspective, one that is not yet clearly defined in practice. Many organisations are now grappling with key questions:
• What is MVC and what is it not?
• Is it simply an extension of Operational Resilience or something fundamentally different?
• What should we do about it and how?
• What does "survival" actually mean in a scenario with no clear recovery timeline?
• How should decisions be made when not everything can be protected?
This session will explore these questions and provide a structured way to think about MVC, grounded in practical experience and emerging industry thinking.
What we will cover:
How MVC should be framed to ExCo & Boards
Where MVC aligns with - and diverges from - Operational Resilience
Ways firms are approaching the problem
The key decisions and trade-offs MVC is intended to support
Common misconceptions
By attending the session, you will leave with a clearer understanding of what MVC is, and what it is not, a structured lens to begin exploring MVC within your organisation, and insight into how peers are approaching this topic.
