Resilience

Ensuring that threats and changes - do not endanger existence, growth, feasibility, capacity, and the future!

Managing Resilience

Sustainable resilience refers to the ability of an organization or system to adapt to changes, cope with crises, and recover in the long term while maintaining its ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

The topics of sustainable resilience include:

Diversification: The individual, organization should possess a wide range of resources, skills, products, or services. Diversification minimizes the risk of losses when a part of the system, company, or supply chain is affected.
Adaptability: A sustainably resilient individual, organization should be flexible and adaptable to adjust to changing circumstances. The ability to respond quickly to new challenges and rethink strategies is crucial.
Long-term Perspective: Sustainable resilience involves a long-term orientation, considering not only short-term gains but also long-term sustainability goals.
Collaboration: Cooperation and collaboration with other actors, such as suppliers, customers, partners, and the community, foster joint solutions to challenges and strengthen the resilience of the entire system.
Environmental Compatibility: Sustainable resilience includes the protection and preservation of natural resources and ecosystems. Environmentally compatible practices minimize risks from environmental impacts and promote adaptation to climate changes.
.
Social Responsibility: Resilient individuals and organizations prioritize the well-being of their employees and communities. Promoting social justice and fair working conditions strengthens employee engagement and contributes to resilience.
Economic Stability: Sustainable resilience takes into account financial stability and long-term economic growth. A balanced financial policy and meaningful investments help navigate economic crises.
Innovativeness: Innovation is crucial to respond to changes and challenges. A sustainably resilient organization fosters continuous improvements and embraces innovative approaches to keep evolving.

 

Considering these topics fosters sustainable resilience, enabling individuals and organizations to achieve long-term success, manage risks, and develop in a sustainable and responsible manner.

Being resilient means: understanding, surviving, using or avoiding threats….

Same general conditions and scenarios - do not automatically mean the same evaluation and the same actions.

Resilience Profile:

Resilience is related to fragility towards threat scenarios, the capacity to act (feasibility, manageability, success, and future), and response time.

Equal threats do not necessarily need to be assessed and linked with the same action areas
If the temperature (synonym for current resilience) is too high or rises uncontrollably, the system may no longer be able to (re)act effectively to additional threats, leading to instability.

Considering these topics fosters sustainable resilience, enabling individuals and organizations to achieve long-term success, manage risks, and develop in a sustainable and responsible manner.

Parameters for Resilience Management:

When considering resilience, always include the scope and its dependencies in the assessment:

✔ Risk: Risk is the possibility or probability of an event or action having undesirable or harmful consequences.
✔ Chance: Chance is the possibility or probability of an event or action bringing positive or beneficial results.
