Welcome and Introduction

Organizational resilience is the ability to survive a crisis and thrive in a world of uncertainty. Resilience is a strategic capability. A truly resilient organization has two important capabilities - the foresight and situation awareness to prevent potential crises from emerging and the ability to turn crises into a source of strategic opportunity.
