Workshop Description
In this session we look at business resilience as a strategic capability, enabling organisations to navigate the increasingly complex and unpredictable market environment. We introduce Business Resilience Framework, a new comprehensive guidance for conducting business transformations triggered by external market conditions or internal organisational needs.
The framework presents a holistic approach for efficiently selecting and delivering business adaptation and transformation projects and programmes, sustainably and at pace.
The presentation is based on the material from the book “Business Resilience: A Practical Guide to Sustained Progress Delivered at Pace” published by Kogan Page. The book is also available on Amazon. The authors took advantage of 150 years of collective experience working with the UK government, professional and accreditation bodies, consulting and training organisations, and clients in a variety of industries, including healthcare, telecommunications, automotive, software, and higher education to create a robust guidance for sustained organizational progress.
