In the fast-paced world of business, obstacles are inevitable. The real challenge lies not in avoiding them, but in overcoming them. Operational resilience, the ability to absorb and adapt to disruptions while maintaining core functions, is at the heart of thriving organizations. I recently shared insights in my latest article on the Risk and Resilience Hub titled Support Operational Resilience by Using Objectives to Overcome Obstacles.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the article:
- Document Your Roadmap: Every journey needs a guide. Map out your objectives clearly so your team knows the path to success.
- Align Your Teams: Disjointed efforts can stall progress. Ensure everyone is working towards the same goal.
- Implement a Resilient Deployment Process: Create systems that can adapt to unexpected disruptions, so your organization stays steady in rough waters.
- Engage the ABC’s of Operational Resilience: Attain, Build, Continue. Make resilience a dynamic part of your culture.
- Track Progress with a Maturity Model: Regularly assess where your teams stand and how far you’ve come.
- Maintain a Continuous Improvement Focus: Operational resilience is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing effort to adapt, evolve, and grow.
- Show Business Value: Everything you do should contribute to your business objectives, your associates, and your customers.
