What is a resilient organization?

Thrive before, during, and after adversity

 

Resilience is not a destination; it is a state of being. A resilient organization doesn’t ride out a crisis, returning to business-as-usual once disruption ends. It instead transforms with the environment, building new attitudes, beliefs, agility, and structures into its DNA that don’t just enable recovery. They drive the organization forward—fast.

Go beyond just responding positively to change. A resilient organization seek to absorb and influence change with the confidence to accept challenges and learn from experience.

 

Our global findings revealed 3 common themes:
 
  • Resilient organizations outperform in times of disruption
  • 2020 accelerated resilience for some; exposed gaps for more
  • Resilience is deliberate. It requires desire, effort, investment, and action to cultivate and maintain
 
Don’t wait for the next crisis


Resilient organizations outperform in times of disruption. Take a proactive approach to building resilience. We can show you how.

Our approach

A more resilient organization will achieve resilience by design, safeguard it through change, and demonstrate it in adversity. It has the right mind-set, strong leadership, and a transformative approach to risk. We help organizations focus on what-if and the what-next scenarios to anticipate shifts and identify unexpected risks.
