1 HOUR • 1 DAY • 1 WEEK – Resilience checklist
Date 07.05.26
In a world where disruption can occur with little warning, organisations are increasingly seeking simple, practical ways to reflect on their preparedness. This is exactly what our free 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week – Resilience checklist is designed to support.
This standalone reflection tool offers an accessible way for organisations to begin exploring their resilience. Rather than testing plans or simulating disruption, it helps you take an initial, high-level look at how prepared you might be should disruption occur.
Access the checklistWhat the checklist helps you explore
1. Operations and service delivery
A chance to consider how disruption could influence the continuity of your services, and where challenges might emerge.
2. Workforce capability and capacity
Prompts that help you think about how your workforce might respond to pressure – including skills, capacity and the ability to adapt.
3. Communication and decision-making during disruption
Questions that encourage you to reflect on how decisions are made and how information flows during challenging situations.
The tool is intentionally light-touch. It does not:
- Test organisational plans
- Simulate or reproduce disruptive scenarios
- Provide evidence of readiness.
Instead, its purpose is simple: to help surface useful questions, highlight assumptions and identify areas that may benefit from deeper consideration.
When you’re ready to explore preparedness in practice
If your organisation wants to go beyond reflection and understand preparedness in a more applied way, you may wish to explore the Scenario Informed Resilience Assessment.
Using realistic disruption scenarios, this service offers a structured way to look at:
- How plans work in practice
- How roles and responsibilities function under pressure
- How decision-making holds up when it matters most.
