With PREPARE, there is an understanding of the critical importance of operational resilience in today's complex and unpredictable business environment. The PREPARE framework provides a structured, comprehensive approach to help organisations like yours enhance resilience and ensure continuity in the face of any challenge.

The PREPARE Framework: Seven Dimensions of Resilience

The framework consists of seven key dimensions that together form the foundation of a robust operational resilience program:

Principles Establish clear guiding principles aligned with your organisation's values, culture, and strategic objectives. This includes developing a resilience strategy focused on critical service continuity and fostering a resilience-oriented mindset.

Regulations Ensure your resilience program complies with relevant regulations and industry standards. Stay attuned to emerging regulatory trends and proactively address expectations.

Evaluation Through comprehensive assessments, identify your organisation's resilience strengths, weaknesses, and priorities for improvement. This includes conducting business impact analyses, mapping critical dependencies, and establishing key performance indicators.

Procedures Design and implement robust resilience procedures, including processes for identifying critical operations, setting impact tolerances, and regularly testing and refining continuity plans.

Adaptability Flexibility and agility are crucial in the face of disruption. Build adaptive capacity through continuous monitoring, agile decision-making processes, and dynamic resource allocation practices.

Roles Clearly defined roles and responsibilities are key to effective resilience execution.  Clarifying accountabilities, establishing governance structures, and fostering a culture of resilience ownership across the organization.

Execution Resilience is an ongoing journey. Develop integrated resilience planning, iterative execution practices, and continuous improvement processes to ensure resilience is embedded across your organization.
