[Plan] [OR-P1] Embarking the Operational Resilience Journey

Embarking Your Operational Resilience Journey

What should organisations consider before they start their operational resilience journey? It is a daunting task, and it is important to set up the fundamentals like any other successful organisational program you have previously participated in.

The approach to start its operational resilience program is to assess its existing capabilities and related programs as you are not starting a "fresh" project.

The main challenge is that some of the competencies needed for operational resilience may not be in your inventory of expertise as they are outside your role, jurisdiction, or skillset. Hence, proper research and planning for people and resources should be conducted before the start of this OR initiative.
