The resilience web: Interconnections, links and traps

Abstract

Business continuity management is an essential contributor to resilience that allows organisations to maintain their viability and functionality — and, in many cases, growth and profitability. The ability to achieve and maintain necessary resilience within a changing operating environment can be influenced by multiple factors. This paper considers the potential damaging influences upon organisations and analyses, and evaluates the range and depth of linkages between them or groups of them. While each influence has its own specific causes, effects, timescales and nuances, some will be unique to it and some will recur elsewhere. Moreover, these influences may cause impacts in isolation or may combine to cause or to deepen the effect of other problems or issues on the organisation. The ‘resilience web’ makes it possible to look externally from the organisation at the centre and to think in depth about anticipation, response and recovery by recognising and identifying synergies, connections and consequences.
