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

Embarking on Your Operational Resilience Journey

What should organisations consider before they start their operational resilience journey?

It is a daunting task, and establishing the fundamentals, as with any other successful organisational program you have previously participated in, is crucial.

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 required for operational resilience may fall outside your area of expertise, role, jurisdiction, or skill set.

Hence, proper research and planning for people and resources should be conducted before initiating this OR initiative.

These are the steps to prepare and "Plan" to start your OR program. The Plan Phase has five "Stages."

The OR BoK # is "Operational Resilience Body of Knowledge #." It is for applicants seeking the BCM Institute's OR Specialist and Expert-level certifications.
