The pandemic has affected different parts of our global economy in different ways. Our experts have examined the impact of COVID-19 and shared specific advice in two Australian reports, Rethinking Urban Resilience and Resilience as a Competitive Advantage, along with two global reports addressing healthcare and utility industries.
Societies, cities, communities, and organizations are only as resilient as their people. After the pandemic, we must focus on improving the health and wellbeing of the most vulnerable, and enhance theresilience of wherever they live, work or play.
Resilience can be enhanced by embracing new resilience-conscious ways of designing and retrofitting buildings, facilities, and urban spaces in a post-pandemic world.
Resilience thinking must be placed at the heart of business continuity planning. Collaboration must also be embraced, between communities, organizations, industry sectors and supply chains.
Digital tools and platforms are essential for gathering and analyzing data which can inform smart decisions that can ensure business continuity and lead to competitive advantage.
Resilience and sustainability go hand-in-hand. By implementing projects that improve sustainability performance, reducing resource consumption and protecting the environment, organizations enhance long-term resilience.
