Overview

It'll never happen to us…

Or will it? There are no guarantees. Disasters happen. Can you be sure they won't happen to your organization? And are you prepared if they do?

No two businesses are the same. They all have different objectives, different values, and different ways of working. Crucially, no two people are the same either, and that can be significant. External factors always have an effect—good or bad—and the impact is different for every company. In times of crisis, the effectiveness of "one-size-fits-all" plans and checklists is, therefore, limited.


Change your thinking on resilience management

Resilient Thinking discusses the importance of thinking laterally about potential impacts on your organization and examines a "thinking" approach to resilience management. As you read this book, you will learn how to:

  • Optimize profitability by thinking about how to make the right decisions for your organization in the current business climate
  • Recognize potential risks and threats to your organization and minimize impact, should the worst happen
  • Understand the drawbacks of "silo" operations and obtain the buy-in of all employees and departments to your resilience planning
  • Improve your efficiency and profitability, as you critically assess your organization's strengths and weaknesses
  • Put plans in place that are cost-effective, relevant, workable, and reality-based, and which will enable a return to "business as usual" as quickly as possible after an incident
  • Protect your organization's assets and key stakeholder relationships
  • Maintain your competitive edge as you draw on knowledge gained through your experience and that of your competitors. 

Be equipped. Be prepared. Be ready with this vital guide to organizational survival.

A fantastic reading resource which brings a new clear focus on the subject of Organisational Resilience. I am currently studying this subject at Uni and this has helped tremendously. Phil Wood the author injects humor into the book which makes it pleasantly enjoyable to read unlike many of the more complex books. I would certainly recommend this as a Pre-study aide for the Organisational Resilience MSc.

I received my copy of Phil's book two days ago and aside from being only 132 pages in length the ease at which I read was helped by his easy and simple approach to the subject matter. The book is not bogged down by endless references or long winded intellectual explanations of what is often a simple proposition. So many security related texts are often trying to masquerade as something written at a higher level, as if the subject matter is not worthy of its own status, that over complicating the various approaches to risk or crisis management will elevate them to the realms of medicine. Simple effective security is as important as an advanced over engineered approach, Phil Wood's book asks you to adhere to principles and SOP's, but do not be hindered by them or close off your mind to a free thinking approach that will allow you to flow with the ever changing world that is modern security management (or resilience!!!)
