KEY TAKEAWAYS 

What is business resilience? 
Your perception of reality defines your reality it is about mindset. In our Universe, everything has a polarity. If there is a problem there is a solution if there is a challenge there is a route to overcome it. 
Your sole job as a business owner is to find solutions to problems 

How do systems support solutions? 
The flow of data between the different aspects of business is the key to success when you have blockages in the flow of data the business begins to fail. 
it is vital to have in place systems and infrastructure to find out what people need, create what they want and deliver it. 
It is vital to have the right data, at the right time and in the right place. When you have a system you have accountability, responsibility and an interdependent culture. 

How can role based KPIs transform a business? 
The key is to assign KPIs to the role this enables the individual undertaking a particular role to know explicitly when they are achieving success. 
The KPIs are both lead and lag indicators for a business. 
The higher level KPIs will be based around growth, profitability and retention, other role-based KPIs will be very focused on individual activities. 
The absence of structure and accountability results in everyone thinking it is someone else’s responsibility to get something done. 
Rather than moving forward everyone is fighting fires all the day, the business is always in a reactive state. 
The KPIs allow you to highlight any part of the system that is not functioning properly. 
When there are systems, processes and KPIs in place people feel cohesive, they feel they can rely on each other in an interdependent way. 
Clearly defined responsibilities, accountability and KPIs enables people to have not only the mental capacity to successfully fulfil their own responsibilities but to also take on more working as part of a high performing team
