Developing Organisational Resilience
The process of developing organisational resilience begins with a Resilience Primer. The primer is a one, two or three-day workshop which includes a comprehensive overview of Resilient Futures and uses the framework and process to enable the participants to make a preliminary assessment of organisational resilience through and initial examination of the following key questions:
- What are the immediate / emergent conditions at a local, regional and global scale that will impact on future decision making? What are the unanticipated events which could be just over the horizon? What decisions have already been made - and what are the existing (and possibly unintended) consequences?
- What capability currently exists with your organisation? How is that capability being applied? What additional capability is needed - in light of conditions?
- What is the current state of your networks? What propositions or exciting possibilities exist that will ensure that you could pull the right network together - quickly?
- What does the organisation value? What value is being created and where are resources being invested? Is there alignment between these investments and what we know about conditions, capability and connectivity?
In essence, the Resilience Primer can be a stand-alone process through which a preliminary assessment of conditions, capability, connectivity and capital can be used as a tool for creating a robust and shared context for decision making. Additionally, the information workshopped through the course of the primer may lead to a deeper piece of work which is grounded in resilience and underpins the strategic future of the organisation.
