I’m really pleased to announce that the Resilient Futures website went live today.

Resilient Futures was formed in April 2008 as a result of a number of practitioners in various fields believing that the current thinking in their respective professions was inadequate in dealing with the problems of tomorrow, and that resilience thinking and the concepts underpinning it provide much needed clarity in a rapidly changing interconnected world.

The Resilient Futures partnership consists of a divergent practitioners in strategy, risk, urban planning, leadership development and networked systems.  There is a range of innovative but practial thinking coming out of this one and I encourage you to have a look around, read a few articles, download a whitepaper or two, and subscribe to the RSS feed.

I particularly encourage you to have a look at my recent article Are you being a reckless leader without realising it? which gives a feel for where some of the thinking is heading, or our offering on emerging risk analysis here.

Resilient Futures can be found at www.resilientfutures.org.

Despite internal audit sourcing now being a mature product, we are surprised to find the number of organisations which still struggle to get the right outcome from their sourcing relationship.

Due to popular demand TDA is now offering advice in this area.

RSS Feed 

While traditional concepts of mailing lists and newsletters are a tempting way to stay in touch with everyone, we found that they left a lot to be desired and that RSS is a far better way to keep our consituents informed.

By subscribing to our RSS feed your browser or email package will periodically check our site to see if there’s any fresh news and if there is, it automatically download a summary for you.  You can then review this at your leisure without ever worrying about missing anything or losing our newsletters in your inbox or junk mail filter.  (This will also cut down on your email volume – we all need that).

If you’re familiar with RSS, just click on the orange RSS Feed icon on the top right hand side of the website and subscribe to our feed.

If you haven’t used RSS before, it’s very simple.  If you’re using Internet Explorer 7 or above, click on the orange RSS Posts icon and you will see a summary of our latest news.  Click on the “subscribe to feed” link and you’re done.  To check our recent news or latest comments on the site, just click on the favourites icon (the star) and you’ll see 3 options.  Option 2 is RSS feeds.  If there’s something new to read the heading will be black and in bold.  If not, you’re up to date. 

If you’re using a Mac, Safari has similar features.  Just look for the RSS icon in the address window and follow the prompts. 

Email

All too hard?  Just put in your email list and we’ll send you a message everytime we update.
