Hoare Memorial Hall
Track 2: Resilient Living
Whether you are developing resilience solutions for the private or public sector, there is a harsh reality that all programmes face resource and budget realities. This is even more pronounced in challenging operating environments where the risk may be higher, but the availability of the time, expertise and money is especailly low. Good resilience planners are able to work around these constraints to ensure that effective measures are implemented through creativity and innovation; this session explores the out-of-the-box resilience thinking that every organisation can learn from.
