The PREPARE framework provides a structured and comprehensive approach to enhancing operational resilience. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing organisations to tailor it to their specific needs and contexts.

At its core, the PREPARE framework is based on seven key dimensions that together form the building blocks of resilience. These dimensions are:

Principles Establishing a clear set of guiding principles that align with the organisation's values, culture, and strategic objectives.

Regulations Ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards, while also staying attuned to emerging regulatory trends and expectations.

Evaluation Conducting regular assessments of the organisation's resilience posture, including identifying critical assets, dependencies, and vulnerabilities.

Procedures Developing and implementing robust policies, procedures, and plans for preventing, detecting, responding to, and recovering from disruptions.

Adaptability Cultivating a culture of flexibility, agility, and continuous learning, enabling the organisation to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.

Roles Defining clear roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities for all stakeholders involved in resilience efforts, from the boardroom to the front lines.

Execution: Operationalising resilience through effective governance, communication, training, testing, and continuous improvement.
