Overview

It'll never happen to us ...

Or will it? h2 are no guarantees. Disasters happen. Can you be sure they won't happen to your organisation? And are you prepared if they do?

No two businesses are the same. They all have different objectives, different values and different ways of working. Crucially, no two people are the same either, and that can be significant. External factors always have an effect – good or bad – and the impact is different for every company. In times of crisis, the effectiveness of 'one-size-fits-all' plans and checklists is, h2fore, limited.


Change your thinking on resilience management

Resilient Thinking discusses the importance of thinking laterally about potential impacts on your organisation and examines a ‘thinking’ approach to resilience management. As you read this book, you will learn how to:

  • optimise profitability by thinking about how to make the right decisions for your organisation in the current business climate
  • recognise potential risks and threats to your organisation and minimise impact, should the worst happen
  • understand the drawbacks of 'silo' operations and obtain the buy-in of all employees and departments to your resilience planning
  • improve your efficiency and profitability, as you critically assess your organisation's strengths and weaknesses
  • put plans in place which are cost-effective, relevant, workable and reality-based, and which will enable a return to ‘business as usual’ as quickly as possible after an incident
  • protect your organisation's assets and key stakeholder relationships
  • maintain your competitive edge, as you draw on knowledge gained through your experience and that of your competitors.

Resilient Thinking will revolutionise your approach to risk analysis and crisis management. Even if the worst does happen, you will be fully equipped to handle it. 


"In Resilient Thinking, Phillip Wood shows the reader how to learn to recognize potential risks and threats, put cost-effective and workable plans into place and minimize the impact of an incident ... Written in a highly informative and engaging manner, Resilient Thinking aims to revolutionize the reader’s approach to risk analysis and crisis management so that even if the worst does happen, they will be fully equipped to handle it."
