  6. Regulatory Constraints advanced

    A financial-services group has 14 months before a new operational-resilience regime applies. It must hold a complete register of third-party arrangements supporting critical functions, documented and tested exit plans for each, and contractual clauses that roughly 40% of its 180 supplier contracts do not contain. The programme plans to build the register first because it is the visible deliverable. Sequence the work properly and name the point of no return.
