Resilience is the ability to function in difficult conditions, including recovering quickly from shocks. This impact case is based on research into how teams and organisations deal with adversity in a variety of contexts. These include:
- Manufacturers recovering from a major earthquake
- Auto companies dealing with hyper-competitive conditions
- Flight crew dealing with unexpected events
We have put over 900 participants through an intensive programme to test and develop team resilience, run 19 events for a variety of non-academic audiences comprising nearly 800 delegates in total, and provided multiple commentaries on resilience issues on TV, radio, and news channels.
