About module

How to prepare the organization for future challenges? How to continuously create value in changing, uncertain conditions? The reality of today's organizations is inseparable from rapid change, so competitive organizations are those that are able to operate successfully in circumstances of uncertainty, are able to anticipate challenges, respond appropriately to them, flexibly adapt to them, and in the event of unfavorable changes or shocks, quickly recover. Ultimately, more resilient organizations are able to create value relatively independently of disruption and use change to achieve or enhance competitive advantage. Resilient leadership seeks to ensure both effective day-to-day operations and long-term results based on continuous value creation. Thus, by developing and cultivating resilience, managers help the organization to reorient from short-term efficiency to long-term competitiveness and prepare for future challenges. In the long run, more resilient organizations operate more sustainably in the ecosystem around them, whose participants are inevitably interdependent, and become more attractive to stakeholders, including shareholders, investors, customers and partners.
