Resilience is defined by the International Standards Organization as the “ability to absorb and adapt in a changing environment in order to survive and prosper.” Whether describing the resilience of an individual, an organization, or a community of any size, this definition provides us guidance.
ICOR’s Resilience Models & Frameworks address how to set the context for your resilience strategy.
Organizational Resilience Frameworks
Most often discussions about resilience focus on the ability of the individual, organization, or community to resist being impacted in a negative manner when something “bad” happens. On the positive side, individuals, organizations, and communities that can adapt and manage change are considered to be more resilient than those that don’t or can’t adapt and change.
Resilience has been interpreted differently within different geographical contexts and academic disciplines. However, almost all of the studies speak to the common characteristics shown in these models in one way or another, despite their thematic, geographic and sectoral differences.

Organizational Resilience Model
Each organization is unique. The way organizational resilience is implemented is also unique, however studies have shown that there are common attributes and behaviors demonstrated by organizations that have survived and thrived during times of change and uncertainty.

Organizational Resilience Framework
The Organizational Resilience Framework is comprised of twelve systems or functional areas that commonly manage risk. Each of these systems must be implemented as a single framework. It is essential to eliminate silos.

Organizational Resilience Competency Model
The ICOR Organizational Resilience Competency Model identifies what it takes to be a Leader in Organizational Resilience across the performance continuum; around the globe; and across all career levels, job roles and job functions. It identifies 25 core competencies to be a leader in Organizational Resilience.

Organizational Resilience Capability Assessment (ORCA)
The Organizational Resilience Capability Assessment Tool is a capability and behavior-based rating system designed for organizations to measure to what extent they demonstrate the capabilities and behaviors present in more resilient organizations.

ISO 22301 Capability Assessment
Assess your organization’s alignment to the requirements of ISO 22301:2019.

Community Resilience Framework
The ICOR Resilient Community Framework asserts that there are five primary systems upon which each community functions no matter its size.
