Operational Resilience A Complete Guide

Operational Resilience is the decisive factor that separates organizations that survive disruptions from those that falter. In today's hyper-connected environment, supply-chain shocks, cyber incidents, and regulatory pressure expose hidden weaknesses. Most firms lack a clear, repeatable method to measure and improve their resilience, leading to costly blind spots and reactive firefighting. The book delivers a step-by-step Self-Assessment built on the RDMAICS framework - Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, Sustain. Across the seven criteria you will find hundreds of targeted questions that probe every facet of operational resilience. You rate each item on a 1-to-5 scale, and the system generates a radar-chart Scorecard that instantly highlights strengths and gaps. Even readers with limited resilience experience can quickly benchmark their organization and prioritize actions.
