Resilience by Design

The global pandemic has demonstrated to us all the importance of resilience community systems. The resilience of your community – large or small – impacted businesses, social systems, health systems, goverments, and public services. And the resilience of each of these systems impacted the people who live there.
Attend this webinar to learn more about the social, environmental, and economic challenges faced by communities and what types of strategic initiatives community leadership should consider in order to ensure they are prepared to meet them.

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.
Attend this webinar for a sneak peak at the ORCA tool and participate in a “short-assessment” of your organization’s strengths and weaknesses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has identified the need for organizational resilience to be a strategic initiative supported by leadership at all levels and documented in policy.
The resilience objectives defined in the policy provide the basis for increasing the organization’s strategic capability to deliver its objectives and to survive and prosper.
Attend this webinar to gain an understanding of how to design and implement an organizational resilience strategic initiative.

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.
Diversity is best implemented when there exists the opportunity to bring together disparate thoughts and strategies into cohesive solutions and actions. This includes the intentional horizontal and vertical integration of the working environment.

Even though self-awareness Ñ knowing who we are and how weÕre seen Ñ is important for job performance, career success, and leadership effectiveness, itÕs in remarkably short supply in todayÕs workplace.
When people are self-aware, they understand their strengths and challenges and know what helps them thrive. They also understand that how they see themselves may be different from how others see them. People with strong self-awareness skills recognize other people’s needs and feelings, enabling stronger emotional intelligence which results in having healthier relationships. They also have a growth mindset and learn from mistakes – being more reflective in nature.
Attend this webinar and learn how being aware of yourself and others is a key enabler in building a heathly culture both at work and at home. We will discuss how situational-awareness allows you to anticipate future conditions to reduce any potential negative impact. Learn how taking time to reflect and to learn from past experiences informs future decision-making and increases your ability to think beyond your current state.

So often the behaviors of being “prepared, robust, and redundant” are applied to the infrastructure and systems of organizations. However, these behaviors are just as important for everyone to embrace.
Attend this webinar and learn about the importance if intentionally working out the details of a plan of action in advance of it being needed. Consider how you can build robust systems that are well-conceived, constructed, and managed so they can withstand significant impacts without damage or loss of function. Learn how spare capacity can be purposely created so that they can withstand disruption, extreme pressures, or surges in demand.

In a world where the only constant is change, embracing a culture of collaboration is essential for businesses to grow and thrive. Collaboration – and it is a skill that can be learned – is an enabler of true teamwork across an organisation.
Collaboration is an important skill that helps us achieve various types of accomplishments and is crucial to working in an inclusive setting. No matter what the industry, you will improve not only your own performance but the performance of your organization, by effectively collaborating with your colleagues.
Attend this webinar to learn more about how collaboration increases engagement from all of its interested parties, enabling working together towards a common purpose or goal, and a sense of shared ownership or a joint vision to building resilience.

Under times of uncertainty and change those people who are able to rapidly find different ways to achieve their goals or meet their needs are happier and more successful than those who are not.
Being resourceful, creative, and innovative provide the capability to transcend traditional ideas, roles, and patterns in order to create something new. They leverage originality of thought and demonstrate imagination to meet challenges in their lives at home and at work.
Attend this webinar and learn how organizations that foster creativity and innovation by seeking out and promoting new and innovative ideas are able to not only achieve their objectives, but to survive and prosper.

As Charles Darwin once said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Ultimately, there is no tool more powerful for survival than our ability to adapt.
We all experience ever-increasing uncertainty and change. The organization and its people must have the ability to change, evolve, and adapt in response to changing circumstances and have the ability to apply existing resources to new purposes in order to survive and thrive.

It requires a commitment to building a more resilient organization and is dependent upon the existence of shared beliefs and values, positive attitudes, and behavior.
