Overview

Since the release of the first edition in 2012, a lot has changed in the world of risk and organisational resilience. Global conflict, political realignments, environmental disruptions, pandemics and disease outbreaks, and cyber attacks are the plethora of threats that have and will continue to endanger the stability of the world. Alongside these risks and issues, technological and societal change is ushering in a new age of opportunity and progress.


What can organisations and people do to prepare for an unexpected future?

To prepare for the unexpected future, organisations need to be resilient. This requires:

  • Understanding the current, emerging and future environments and contexts;
  • People who are knowledgeable about, confident in and capable of building and maintaining resilience in the organisation and within themselves; and
  • A sensible approach to the use of guidance, frameworks and initiative.

Phil Wood’s much expanded and updated second edition explores, develops and enhances the concepts discussed in his previous book in granular detail, analysing our understanding of where we have been, where we are now and where we should be going to develop resilient organisations.

This book will help you:

  • Optimise profitability by making decisions based on thought, analysis and understanding ourselves, our organisations and our environment;
  • Recognise risks to your organisation;
  • Understand the drawbacks of ‘silo’ operations and maintain the organisational resilience capability through effective people;
  • Think about plans that are cost-effective, relevant and workable, and that will maintain organisational viability and competitive edge; and
  • Develop your capability, capacity and a questioning, thinking mindset to match the fast-moving and developing world around you.
