Resilience by Design

Leadership can make or break an organizationÕs future, especially in turbulent times. Few strategic challenges are more compelling than identifying, developing and properly positioning the leaders of tomorrow. Successful organizations embed leadership responsibility at all levels, and invest heavily in leadership development.
With the psychological and emotional role that leaders need to play if they are to optimize morale and productivity during turbulent times, it is more important than ever that organizations understand the four leadership behaviors that are critical during times of uncertainty and change.

If itÕs taught us nothing else, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided the business case for leaders to move from defensive risk management to a forward-looking stance based on strategic resilience. The pandemic crisis has dramatically illustrated the short-sightedness of focusing on a small number of well-defined risks and the need to instead create a long-term strategy to successfully navigate in a world where there is a dynamic pace of change.
Attend this webinar and learn how to move to a broader mandate of integrating the risk function with other core functions to enable a more holistic resilience strategy.

The coming together of minds from different teams and departments allows you to innovate, bring fresh perspectives, and strive towards shared goals.

Attend this webinar and learn how to use cross-functional teams to increase engagement, create a sense of purpose, and streamline work processes.

Traditional risk management is no longer an adequate activity to fully understand threats to critical environments such as data centers.

Attend this webinar and learn more about the new risk environment in data centers and other critical environments.

An organization in crisis faces many grave threats. Employees can be in physical danger. Buildings can fall. Customers can be lost. But the most serious threat is and always will be the threat to the organizationÕs most important asset Ð its reputation.

There is a lot of talk in the marketplace about resilience and how to increase the resilience of your organization, but much of it is focused on very narrow aspects – often as a sales pitch where the purchase of a specific product will solve all your problems.
ICOR’s Organizational Resilience Capability Assessment (ORCA) was developed to help leaders identify their organization’s strengths and weaknesses through a strategic lens and to provide a baseline for determining how to implement specific strategies to increase their capabilities.

Diversity and integration have been at the forefront for the past several years in not just building more resilient organizations, but in ensuring a healthier workplace and more inclusive society.
