Outcomes

A Resilient Futures organization or community is:

Transformation Ready: Recognizes, understands, and leverages the opportunities that arise with complex change. Takes advantage of these opportunities by transforming policy and practice ahead of change, at all times.

Initiative Driven: Allows resilience and opportunity-minded action to flourish by letting go of outdated preoccupations with resource efficiency, asset management and problem solving.

Locally Focused and Globally Awake: Grasps the fact that resilience begins in the immediate environment, while understanding the impact of global conditions.

Systems Aware: Remembers that any opportunity is shaped by connections to massive, regional and global networks, systems, sub-networks and sub-systems.

Always In Touch: Knows how to read the immediate and emergent signs, ‘unearth’ possibilities and implement Resilient Futures strategy. Maintains a constant feedback loop to keep abreast of change and the impact of strategy.

Continuously Learning: Embraces both success and failure as learning opportunities and ensures that any lessons are shared and used to inform future action.

Ready for System Failure: Introduces modularity and redundancy into managerial principles and practices and releases the old to make room for the new.

Self-Sufficient: Uses every learning opportunity to ensure that in-house skill and technique develops to continually grow with change.

Inspiring: Harnesses resilience, opportunity and optimism to provide shared purpose and meaning.

Collaborative: Fosters an atmosphere that encourages and rewards working together. Actively seeks partners (internal and external) with whom relationships can be forged.

Committed to action: Works to ensure that strategy is about momentum and that each action taken learns from the last and informs the next.
