KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We now live in a digitally reliant world. A world where everything around us, and everything we do is reliant on a digital environment - our phones, our homes, cars, the way we shop and spend is all driven by a digital medium.
- To understand how we survive, how we maintain and grow in a digital world requires us to think about and plan through scenarios of set-up, scenarios of maintaining, through scenarios of growing and scenarios of responding, what we do when things don’t go to plan.
- Resilience is the ability of an organisation to respond effectively to challenges such as threat actors and growth or decline. A resilient individual is one who can look at a situation they are facing analyse it and then have the ability to think, focus, grow and move forward in a consistent way.
- The training and development of your staff are what makes your business resilient. When the people process, and technology element form an effective partnership your business will be able to digitally grow and achieve.
- We haven’t yet understood how to process digital information. We can see emails, text messages, Facebook as potentially threatening and experience the heightened emotional and psychological responses associated with being under attack.
- If you change your mindset and remove that risk from yourself, you can work in a different way.
- In dynamic evaluation the objective is to move and gather information in order to make a decision, decide at what point to make the decision and then act on the decision.
- Successful organisations have a concept of lessons learnt, and learning from those lessons, reviewing and asking what you would do differently is learning.
- Evaluating dynamically before you act is relies on ongoing communication, gathering of information and constantly evaluating what is going on to enable you to move forward.
- This model is one of shared responsibility everybody is seeking to identify the risks, and everyone is seeking opportunities to make a difference.
- The ability of a leader to analyse what’s going develops individual resilience as within the process of questioning and moving forward you are also evaluating yourself and your capability.
- Having a positive outlook is the way forward and there is no such thing as a negative experience only situations from which we can learn, getting to a position where you think of everything as an opportunity will change everything.
