A resilient organisation will have a positive affect on the well-being of those that work in it due to the reduced incidence and scale of individual trauma
A resilient organisation will have an enhanced ability to recruit, retain and succession plan as there will be high levels of worker well-being
A resilient organisation will have a consequential positive impact on population achievement and well-being.
Organisational resilience is built on a continual vigilance, both of the internal and external environment.
This facilitates being better able to ‘see’. To ‘see’ for understanding, more and faster, and to ‘see’ beyond what is currently known or known for certain. This ‘seeing’ should form part of the organisation’s core operational processes.
It is having the capacity and capability to respond to what is seen; to ‘do’, to take action. It is the development and maintenance of the dynamic capabilities that allow the reorganisation of resources to best meet a challenge or realise an opportunity.

The organisation that you lead has a purpose; a deep-felt ambition for the children and the community that goes beyond simply providing services and provides meaning for those that work with you.
These current times are providing challenges to your ability to deliver to your purpose; you may feel constantly ‘knocked off course’.
By building and maintaining organisational resilience you will be able to move beyond solely responding (bouncing with) and recovering (bouncing back) and instead use the turbulence as a catalyst to thrive in this ‘white water’ world and beyond. (bouncing forward)
