Description

Organizational Behavior focuses on the need for resiliency to be embedded in the culture and systems of the organization. A resilient organization has documented resiliency objectives that align and support the organization's strategic goals so that it is able to achieve its core objectives in the face of adversity.

It is not about responding to a one-time crisis or disaster event - it's about continuously anticipating and adjusting to trends that can permanently impair the earning power or the ability of the organization to accomplish its mission.

21st-century organizations are taking on the new challenge of designing resilience into organizations - that is, designing resilience into their management of people, places, infrastructure, and work processes so they can bounce back from any kind of setback.

The discipline of Organizational Behavior addresses the following elements:
1.    Characteristics of a Resilient Organization
2.    The Structure of a Resilient Organization
3.    The Impact of Culture on the Resilience of the Organization
4.    Leaders of Resilient Organizations
5.    Staying Resilient During a Crisis
6.    The Role of Issues Management and Crisis Readiness in Organizational Resilience
7.    Developing a Resilient Workforce
8.    The Resilient Workplace - A Safe and Secure Environment
9.    Improving the Resilience or your Supply Chain
10.  Characteristics of a Resilient Community - The Role of the Organization in the Community
