Strategic Resilience
The capacity of an organisation or system to anticipate, absorb and adapt to deep, structural shocks — beyond operational risk management.
Definition
Strategic resilience is the capacity of an organisation, economy or system to anticipate, withstand and adaptively transform in response to deep disruptions — climate change, geopolitical fragmentation, technological shifts, pandemics — that alter the environment in which strategy must succeed. It differs from operational continuity planning in addressing structural change: business models, supply networks and assumptions, not just incidents, and draws on resilience thinking from ecology (adaptive capacity, transformability) applied to strategy.
