Resilience. This is something all organizations strive towards but not everyone understands. We talk with resiliency industry expert, Caitlin Durkovich. Caitlin will talk to us about what drives resiliency programs and what questions to ask to determine if you really are working towards a resilient culture or if you're not quite where you think you are. She will also talk to us about things that might hinder an organization from achieving a resilient status; things that you may not even know is impacting you, such as Biases and 'blind spots'. It's a very interesting show and provides some new insights and perspectives on resilience. Tune in to hear what really makes an organization resilient.
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
