The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Global Risks Report” identifies and analyzes a broad range of risk factors that may impact global economic development, ranging from climate change to technological failures to political unrest. Any of these risks alone would be challenging to cope with, but when they occur simultaneously and interact with one another the challenges can seem overwhelming.
In a highly networked world risk management needs to be supplemented with resilience management, which involves a different set of tools and metrics, based on systems thinking.
Watch SSF and author, educator and resilience expert Joseph Fiksel for a sixty minute discussion about “Enterprise Resilience – Embracing Change in a Turbulent World”.
