Organisational resilience - when rules find their limits

Events - Public

The challenge many managers face in their pursuit of resilience can be understood in terms of uncertainty and complexity. Uncertainty, however, does not automatically trigger a crisis. Problems often occur when points of failure interact with each other, and the nature of the 'coupling' between these elements is of central importance. Loose coupling provides 'breathing space' to contain failures and they can often be addressed individually, thereby preventing them from gradually destabilizing the whole. Elmar will take us through a number of ways resilience can be built up with in organisations so that issues can be predicted more accurately and dealt with more effectively. Practical and with his own brand of humour, he will explain the need for resilience, the different modes that can be employed to build resilience and the challenges that you'll face along the way!
