Topic 1: Resilience 2.0 - Preparing for the next normal: Redefining resilience to ensure sustainability, growth and productivity JUNITA_VAN_DER_COLFF
As famously said by Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. We need to re-assess and re-look our approach to organisational resilience. We would therefore like to propose the development of an Integrated Strategic Resilience Framework.
In the talk she will aim to unpack and share:
- A new definition of resilience and what this would mean to businesses –
“Ability of organisations to adopt, change and grow in response to uncertainty and change.”
- Key attributes of Resilient organisations – what does it take?
- Case studies of companies that are leading in redefining Resilience
- A proposed holistic approach and framework to Strategic Integrated Resilience
- What next? Key actions to start the journey to Strategic Integrated Resilience
Resilience is not only about protecting our business, but also about creating value so that we are able to thrive, not just survive.
Topic 2: Preparing for tomorrow, today. MANESH_PURSHOTAM
Key take-way points are:
- Crisis preparedness – who, why and how?
- Building the resilience capability – what is the lifecycle?
- Threat landscapes and horizon scanning – having the right foresight.
- Maintaining a capability – how do we strengthen and continue maturing?
