Who uses organisational resilience & when?
Big Operations
Organisations (Government, Commercial, NGO’s) that are subject to significant risks either due to:
- The nature of their business; or
- Their product or service; or
- The size of their organisation; or
- The value of their assets; or
- The complexity of their operations; or
- The volatility of their market.
Highly Regulated Organisations
Organisations that have a legal/regulatory obligation to have risk, emergency management, and/or business continuity programs and procedures in place. Such as organisations in the following sectors:
• Finance;
• Health;
• Aged care;
• Aviation;
• Energy;
• Etc.
Emergency Regulations
Businesses that need to bolster their emergency/crisis/disaster management and/or business continuity/recovery capabilities due to a preceding incident/event or for competitive edge (training, documentation, testing, exercises). For example, theme and amusement parks, event companies and companies organising events.
Why does it matter?
1. Damage to reputation
An organisation’s reputation directly affects its ability to deliver its product or service. A positive reputation can quickly be shaken and take years to recover from, during which time the organisation’s health and success is negatively impacted, for example, the Dreamworld incident in 2016.
2. Continued growth and confidence
The benefit of implementing resilience into your organisation is to reduce the effect of subtle changes and big distractions. This creates a competitive advantage and opportunities for growth through stakeholder confidence.
How does it affect me?
A common risk treatment measure is developing an Emergency Plan, but just having a plan is not enough, it must be well-practised and tested. It is crucial to confirm it’s effective, to build staff competency and confidence in disaster situations, and to confirm all information is up-to-date.
How does it affect my organisation?
If a disruption occurs you are required to respond. The effectiveness of your response relies on the quality of your preparedness measures. For example, if you have not provided any training on your plans, it is unlikely they will be used during a disruption. TYhis may result in a damaged reputation which negatively impacts the organisation’s health and success.
