# \[OR\] \[EL\] Lesson 3 OR Planning Methodology Framework and Principles

Welcome to Lesson 3. This lesson will explore the foundational framework for building operational resilience: the "Plan-Implement-Sustain" approach.

This three-phase methodology guides organizations in assessing their current state, identifying improvement areas, and implementing strategies to withstand disruptions.

By the end of this lesson, you'll understand the critical considerations for each phase, identify potential challenges, and be equipped to initiate and sustain your organization's operational resilience journey. Let's dive in!

This is your chance to dive deep into Operational Resilience planning in Lesson 3 of the OR-200 e-learning module.

##### What will you learn?

- Conduct a comprehensive understanding of the OR planning methodology
- Able to delve into the stages within the "Plan-Implement-Sustain" phases
- Propose challenges, resources, decisions and approvals needed for the start and sustaining of the OR journey

##### Flexible Learning at Your Pace

- **Learn on your schedule**: Pause and resume the module whenever it suits you.
- **Take detailed notes**: Use the built-in electronic notepad to capture key takeaways.
- **Test your knowledge**: A short quiz at the end will assess your understanding of the material.

##### Who Should Attend

**Senior Managemen**t: CXOs, VPs, and other senior leaders are responsible for the organisation's overall health and well-being. They must understand operational resilience to make strategic decisions and ensure the organisation's preparedness.

**Department Heads are the leaders** of departments most likely to be involved in a crisis response, such as Public Relations, Operations, Human Resources, Legal, Security, and IT. They must understand their role in the operational resilience plan and how their department contributes to the response.

Business Continuity Professionals: Those involved in developing and implementing business continuity plans would benefit from a deeper understanding of how operational resilience integrates with their work.

Risk Managers: Professionals responsible for identifying and mitigating risks would benefit from learning how operational resilience helps address potential crisis scenarios.
