Resilience Shift Policy Symposium - Dr Juliet Mian
- 1. resilienceshift.org info@resilienceshift.org A global initiative to catalyse resilience within and between critical infrastructure sectors Dr Juliet Mian | Technical Director
- 2. V U C A The safety and well-being of billions of people depends on infrastructure systems that can deliver critical services … that can provide, protect or connect us - whatever the future has in store.
- 3. The context of critical infrastructure • Ageing and deteriorating assets • Extreme weather events and climate change • Fragmented governance systems • Interconnected and interdependent systems • Long life assets and uncertain future • Existing and new technologies • Socio-technical systems • Changing customer expectations • Tension between resilience and efficiency/productivity
- 4. Resilience building allows you to prevent or mitigate against shocks and stresses you identify and better able to respond to those you can’t predict or avoid.
- 5. Resilience requires some understanding and consideration of complexity and the interdependence of systems and services underpinning modern life.
- 6. A global initiative to build resilience within and between key critical infrastructure sectors. We want to shift how we plan, finance, design, deliver and operate critical infrastructure in practice, to make it more resilient, to make sure society gets the services it needs. What is the Resilience Shift? “ “
- 8. A diverse range of collaborators
- 9. 01 02 03 Our work is broadly structured under three themes Tools and approaches Identifying the drivers of change Common understanding of resilience across sectors
- 10. Theme 2 – Resilience Drivers Putting resilience into practice depends strongly on incentives emerging from standards setting bodies, public policy including regulation, as well as from insurance and the finance industries, and the views of the public.

Editor's Notes
- Resilience Shift – funded by the Lloyd’s Register Foundation Arup as host institution Doing work, funding work by others and building community around this big and exciting topic of resilience within and between critical infrastructure sectors.
- Why is what we’re doing important? Resilience Shift is focused on infrastructure systems and the critical services that those infrastructure systems provide. Most importantly these infrastructure systems are there for the safety and wellbeing of billions of people globally. Infrastructure gap. $3tn per year. As we're all aware, the infrastructure that we're responsible for has to operate in an increasingly volatile uncertain complex and ambiguous world.
- The context of critical infrastructure is changing all the time, there are some noticeable trends.
- Complexity and uncertainty. There are principles that will help. Builds on management of risks related to known hazards and adds aspects such as ‘safe to fail’, threat agnostic. Being prepared to be surprised.
- World is increasingly globalised, interconnected. Food industry. Preparation for Brexit… Fragmented governance.
- The Resilience Shift is a global initiative to build resilience within and between key critical infrastructure sectors. We want to shift how we plan, design, deliver and operate critical infrastructure - we want to make it more resilient. This will contribute to making the world a safer and better place. We've set out the vision of what we want to achieve, that is that critical infrastructure will be not only safer in terms of not failing but also better in terms of the functionality that it provides for society. Tools, publications (guidelines, peer reviewed papers, research reports), events (workshop reports)
- We are now working across the globe with diverse partners.
- Our work to define and build resilience has embraced a collaborative approach. Having close partnerships has been absolutely fundamental to this work. And we have and continue to see this as an iterative process, a process of co-learning, testing and refining. We are delighted to work with new partners and collaborators and to share our experiences co-developing this approach.
- In terms of what we're doing we have set out work into three workstreams, I see these as buckets for categorising the work that we're doing.
- The second workstream is around how to incentivise resilience. We are looking at this in terms of how do we articulate the value of resilience, who is that value for and how do we know and what are the drivers or levers that are changing or will change practice. We're looking at both private sector and public top down government policy and regulation in terms of the incentives to try to understand where the balance is in terms of what will drive change.
- Stakeholder interviews across all of this work is really important
- Another key aspect of how we are doing our work, of how we decide what to do, and how we establish whether we are doing the right thing and how well we are doing it, is by using the value-drive approach illustrated here. So thinking about the value chains for critical infrastructure whether it's for new projects or delivery of services, we think that the best way to make a shift is to think about the whole value chain. We talk about resilience value as the golden thread that links everyone in the chain This helps people to understand the value that they get in delivering resilient infrastructure, to move the focus or the understanding away from this just being something that delivers value to society to delivering something that makes everyone's jobs better and completes the chain.
