Is your organisation resilient enough to thrive in the face of uncertainty? When we talk about organisational resilience, the idea of fortifying a business immediately comes to mind. But it’s much more than increasing the robustness of your organisation. With the numerous evolving economic, social, political and, in certain climes, religious situations that global organisations face, some changes continue to affect business’ strategic priorities and targets. In essence, higher volatility has become the new normal in our business environment. Organisational resilience is about anticipating what might happen and putting strategies in place to resist the impending negative impacts of sudden change. Similarly, it is also about reacting to potential threats and uncertainties and rebounding to sustain business growth and stay one step ahead. Resilient organisations don’t just survive; they thrive in an unpredictable world. In this deck, you’ll find the most effective strategy to flourish in today’s VUCA world and remain relevant for the long term. You’ll also learn; • The capabilities a resilient organisation demonstrates • The critical areas you need to focus on to drive business transformation during uncertain times • The key questions you immediately need to ask before anything else, and • What you have to start doing NOW

5. What is Organisational Resilience ?

6. Organisational resilience is the ability of an organisation to anticipate,
plan and respond to difficulties when they occur.
Resilient organisations are those that are resistant to, or recover from
threatening impacts through good risk management. These
organisations absorb the shocks, adapt and turn them into
opportunities to capture sustainable growth.
When challenges emerge, leaders and teams in resilient organisations
quickly assess the situation, reorient themselves, double down on
what’s working, and walk away from what’s not.
