About
We look forward to welcoming you to the next National Consortium for Societal Resilience (NCSR+) webinar on Leading societal resilience held jointly with the Resilience Beyond Observed Capabilities Network+ (RBOC+) project. Attendees must register for the webinar at the MS Teams link below.
This webinar will focus on the mindsets and skillsets needed to lead societal resilience. CROs and resilience professionals will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of societal resilience, so it is vital that as individuals they have the skillset of a resilient leader.
Our speakers:
- Professor Caroline Field, Partner, PA Consulting
- Mike Adamson, Director, Systems Leadership Development
Traditional crisis response skills are necessary, but alone are no longer sufficient to actively build resilience at the societal level, particularly when communities rarely "bounce back better" after an emergency. Rather, leaders must possess a unique blend of values, skills and dispositions, to enable a whole system critical shift in mindset from reactive to proactive, appreciating the interdependence between short term threat and long-term community resilience.
Resilience professionals must themselves be resilient, if they are to empower others to lead within their communities and organisations and bridge the gap between top-down and bottom-up resilience building initiatives. A resilient leader must be able to lead during uncertainty, change, and crisis, but also have the skills to build trust, cohesion, and capacity across a wide variety of systems and with a diverse range of people.
NCSR+ / RBOC+ webinars are designed for resilience practitioners, resilience partnerships and partner organisations to share insights and lessons on developing societal resilience that others may find useful.
