Can your organisation continue to prosper as conditions change?

Organisations are facing greater challenges than ever before.  As a leader if you feel that you are facing more change than ever before, you are not alone.  The nature, scale and frequency of change is increasing which is putting tests on the resilience of all organisations.

Increasingly, the term resilience is popping up with a number of variants – enterprise resilience, organisational resilience, business resilience and others.  Some variants are narrow dealing only with a part of the problem.  Resilience from a HR perspective often talks about personal resilience – in other words, the ability of an individual to bounce back in the face of adversity – something akin to personal tenacity.  Resilience from a risk perspective is often limited to business continuity or crisis management.  Both models tend to plan for and react to disaster rather than empowering organisations and leaders to navigate strategically.

TDA takes a holistic view of resilience using the models embodied in the Resilient Futures Network models to answer the simple question for leaders – “How can we continue to prosper as conditions change?”.  Our models bring together the key aspects of strategy, risk, governance, leadership and assurance to allow for organisational resilience and transformation.

We can assist in a range of ways depending on the needs of the organisation with a range of modules and entry points including:

• Primer – introduction to the concepts of resilience and and understanding of why this is business critical and a potential source of ultimate competitive advantage for your organisaton
• Initial diagnostic – initial assessment of key conditions and capabilities required
• Strategic risk assessment – a deep understanding of emerging conditions, key depedencies and how this will affect the organisation’s business model going forward
• Resilience capability assessment – does the organisation have embedded resilience?  What maturity level is the organisation at now?  Where does it need to be?
• Catalytic projects – demensioning catalytic projects to transform the organisation
• Resilient leadership – training leaders within the organistation on key capabilities to allow for organisational transformation
• Program and project management – ensuring what needs to happen does actually happen

After nearly 20 years working in risk and organisational transformation roles I’m convinced that the next five years will be the most disruptive we are likely to see for a generation.  Those who understand and embrace the concepts will be incredibly well placed to create shareholder wealth and outcomes for their stakeholders.  Those leaders which don’t get their head around resilience are likely to preside over  significant value destruction and be the case studies for poor governance of the future.
