Researching resilience for organisations. Creating new accessible ways to understand, measure and improve resilience which are meaningful to a specific organisation, supporting boards and senior management governance, strategies and reporting.Successful business are resilient, some by good fortune, others by deliberate effort. This resilience is usually hard won by trial and error, the steady building of experience and learning from failure at both personal and organisational levels. Today’s business environment is however evolving at an ever increasing pace, preventing this incremental approach to building resilience, whilst the volatility and uncertainty created by the nature and extent of the growth of technology, societal change and global interconnectedness magnify organisations vulnerability. Resilience has many dimensions, socio-economic, technological, organisational as well as purely physical capabilities. This research is developing new tangible and holistic methods to understand, measure and improve resilience which can be applied by senior leaders in their organisations.
