In our VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, organizational resilience is key to adapting, surviving, and thriving. The world is experiencing a level of disruption and business risk not seen in generations. Some companies freeze and fail, while others innovate, advance, and even thrive. The difference is resilience. As crises become more frequent, the ability to thrive in crises is now essential. The Oxford English Dictionary defines resilience - in an organizational context - as 'the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties'. A resilient business is one which is capable not of just withstanding shocks and disruptions in the business environment, but also capable of adapting to and taking advantage of them. It is more than simply bouncing back after a crisis or being an agile organization. Business Resilience Fundamentals training and supporting certification are underpinned by the publication BUSINESS RESILIENCE: A practical guide to sustained progress delivered at pace. It provides a cohesive, practical guide to building business resilience, enabling leaders to implement an effective framework in an inclusive and sustainable way. Participants will be guided on implementing and adapting a range of tools to build and enhance organizational resilience. This course will help participants to ensure their organization is better prepared for the next crisis and to anticipate fluctuations in the business environment to take advantage.
