# \[OR\] \[P3-S4\] \[2-3\] Perform Assessment: Analyse & Discuss Findings

Once you have collected data through interviews, surveys, and document reviews, the next step is to analyze and discuss your findings. This analysis will help you identify areas of strength, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement in your organization's operational resilience.

Key considerations for data analysis include summarizing key findings, identifying trends and patterns, comparing data against benchmarks, and assessing the significance of findings. The discussion phase should involve relevant stakeholders to share insights, identify agreement and disagreement, prioritize areas for improvement, and develop action plans.

By conducting a thorough analysis and discussion, you can gain valuable insights into your organization's operational resilience performance, identify areas for improvement, and develop targeted strategies to enhance your resilience posture.

This is the introductory blog \[OR-P3-S4\] to Stage 4 of the "SUSTAIN" phase of the OR Planning Methodology.  It is a pre-reading for participants attending the Operational Resilience Expert Implementer course.

By conducting a thorough analysis and discussion, you can gain valuable insights into your organization's operational resilience performance, identify areas for improvement, and develop targeted strategies to enhance your resilience posture.

#### **Purpose**

Once you've collected data through interviews, surveys, and document reviews, the next step is to analyze and discuss your findings.

This analysis will help you identify areas of strength, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement in your organization's operational resilience.

#### **Key Considerations**

- **Data Analysis:** Use appropriate data analysis techniques to extract meaningful insights from the collected data. This may involve: 
    - Summarizing key findings
    - Identifying trends and patterns
    - Comparing data against benchmarks or industry standards
    - Assessing the significance of findings
- **Discussion:** Convene a meeting or workshop to discuss the findings with the assessment team and relevant stakeholders. This provides an opportunity to: 
    - Share insights and perspectives
    - Identify areas of agreement and disagreement
    - Prioritize areas for improvement
    - Discuss potential actions or initiatives
- **Documentation:** Document the key findings, conclusions, and recommendations from the analysis and discussion. This will serve as a valuable reference for future improvements.

#### **Additional Tips**

- **Facilitate an open and inclusive discussion:** Encourage all participants to share their insights and perspectives.
- **Consider the context:** Analyze the findings in relation to your organization's specific context, industry, and regulatory requirements.
- **Prioritize areas for improvement:** Focus on the most critical areas where improvements can have the greatest impact on your organization's resilience.
- **Develop action plans:** Create specific action plans to address identified weaknesses and capitalize on opportunities for improvement.

By conducting a thorough analysis and discussion of your findings, you can gain valuable insights into your organization's operational resilience and develop a targeted plan for improvement.
