Program Description:

An organization’s ability to flex, adapt and maintain its effectiveness during times of change is profoundly linked to their very survival and growth. Resilience, at the organizational level, is the capacity to identify indicators of change or disruption, planned or unplanned, and react swiftly and appropriately at the individual and systems level to adjust, adapt and learn while preserving organizational continuity.

This session “tees up” the annual CBODN conference and introduces the mindset and skills necessary to build personal and organizational resilience as well as the significant role leader’s play in developing, demonstrating and institutionalizing resilience as a core competency. The concepts and impact of systemic resilience will be illustrated through the progression and development of resilience in a client organization.

During this highly interactive session, participants will complete a checklist to evaluate their resiliency, share and discuss learnings and the practical application of tools and concepts to their work.

Four Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify the essential components, mindsets, and skills associated with resiliency at the personal and organizational levels.
  2. Review a resiliency framework to illustrate the role of performance and adaptation systems.
  3. Discuss the impact leaders have in building organizational resilience.
  4. Introduce and complete a resiliency checklist in preparation for application of skills and concepts.
