Abstract

The article analyzed how cross-disciplinary cooperation can ensure digital resilience. This cooperation should deliver toolsets for government, business, and citizens. Under consideration are telecoms, information and communication technology (ICT), internet infrastructure, and data centers. The subject is to find standards and best practices to amplify digital resilience. The system approach is the methodology using public domain sources, secondary data, and quantitative and qualitative observations. The author considers (i) specific key performance indicators (KPI) aligned with the EU Digital Compass and other regulations, (ii) environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practice, and (iii) business continuity metrics. Pertinent stakeholders can see holistic and in-depth data on their dashboards. The key findings demonstrate that cross-disciplinary cooperation is mandatory for a sustainable and resilient existence and has specific methods, metrics, and organizational forms. The central and regional government, businesses, and citizens can cover the digital resilience gaps based on transversal cross-disciplinary strategies, plans, and executions. It may have many organizational forms, particularly as a Platform. Such complex cooperation and toolsets allow stakeholders to reach digital resilience during poly-crises and disruption.
