Resilient teams play a critical role in helping organizations and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises and disruptions. By developing proactive plans and strategies, coordinating crisis response efforts, facilitating quick recovery, and continuously improving their approach, resilient teams help ensure the ongoing viability and success of the organizations. Simply put, resilient teams perform when others fail.

Building a resilient team requires a comprehensive approach to identifying the team's scope and goals, developing the right team members and skills.

Objectives:

• Building resilience: The primary objective of a resilience team is to build and maintain resilience within the organization or community. Resilience is a mindset, which is one of the key takeaways of our Managing Resilient Teams workshop.

• Resilient teams also have resilient networks. As the expression goes, “no man is an island” and a team works within a network of people which either support or thwart performance.

• Responding to crises or interruptions, the resilient team stays calm and focused. This trait is essential and comes from training and developing the appropriate responses.

• A high-performing, resilient team knows that “1 +1 > 2.” That is to say, the team co-creates value within its members. In our workshop, we explore what this looks like and how to apply it.

• Continuous improvement: A resilience team continuously evaluates and improves its approach to building and maintaining resilience. This mindset of never being satisfied is the trait and the processes of evaluating and continuous improvement are explored.

Key Learning Points:

• Personal Resilience： Looking inward, how do we maintain our body, mind and attitude in a resilient way?

• Social Resilience: Looking around us, our network either helps or holds us back as we face challenges. Optimizing our network is key.

• Proactivity: Looking ahead we can be strategic in our planning and development to make sure that the best version of ourselves is present when new opportunities and challenges appear.
