In today's ever evolving and unpredictable world, the ability to thrive in complex and volatile environments is essential. Resilience isn't just a buzzword – it's a way of life for successful organizations.

Why do resilience and strategy work have a specific role in complex environments?
What are the key elements for developing an effective strategy that meets the needs of a volatile context?

What are the practical implications of resilient operations and what are the main challenges of working in turbulent terrains?

How do the operational activities support the Three Layers approach and improve the resilience of the company at a corporate level?

Participants will receive practical examples of how to improve and sustain resilience even in the face of uncertainties with a Three Layers -approach to resilience.
