Organizational resilience
Navigate an unpredictable world and efficiently manage crises when every second counts.
Why is organizational resilience important?
Critical events happen all the time and come in various forms – from severe weather events, to civil unrest, workplace safety, active assailants and supply chain disruptions. When these incidents occur, they can impact individuals, organizations and communities.
By prioritizing organizational resilience solutions, enterprises and government organizations can navigate these events confidently, and mitigate risks. Resilient organizations will not only withstand such challenges but thrive amidst current and emerging threats.
Building organizational resilience requires having optimal plans, strategies, tools, and processes. The newly released standard to help organizations build resilience–ISO 22336–is the first international standard that provides comprehensive guidelines for designing, implementing and improving resilience policies and strategies within organizations.

ROI of resilience issue brief
It’s not easy to calculate the ROI, until a company shortchanges the investment.
To succeed and survive, every organization must have a strategy for achieving organizational and operational resilience. Most businesses face significant — often existential — threats and they need to make the necessary investments in people, training, and technology to meet their commitments to customers, employees, and investors.
Yet, nearly every budget cycle, corporate security and resilience leaders are asked to quantify the return on investment that they deliver. What is the ROI on resources without which there might not be an organization at all?
