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 should organisations consider before starting their operational resilience journey? - **Implement Phase**. What are the critical components of implementing the OR initiative? - **Sustain Phase**. Once implemented, how can the OR initiatives be supported and sustained in the long run? This knowledge will equip participants to effectively contribute to and understand operational resilience initiatives within their organizations.

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. Other Professionals with Crisis Response Roles: Depending on the organisation's structure, this could include safety officers, emergency response personnel, and public information officers.   |
