Sound Policy: Designing resilience into digital infrastructure

On this episode of Sound Policy, we explore how organizations across the digital infrastructure ecosystem are thinking about resilience. As investment in data centers accelerates to support AI, cloud computing, and digital services, stakeholders are navigating a growing web of dependencies that extends far beyond any single facility.

Host Brian Amaral speaks with Jonathan Birdwell, Global Head of Policy and Insights at Economist Enterprise, about Built for What's Next: Designing Resilience into Digital Infrastructure, a new report based on a survey of 1,800 stakeholders across 21 countries. They discuss how organizations are approaching resilience, where risks exist across the digital infrastructure value chain, and why understanding interconnected systems is becoming increasingly important as no single stakeholder can manage every risk alone.

The conversation also explores the importance of collaboration, the growth-resilience balance facing the industry, and why the next evolution of risk management may depend on understanding the relationships between infrastructure, technology, people, and supply chains.
