Week 9 Assignment

Use the WEF Global Risks Report 2013 for these assignments

See Figure 23: National Resilience Beta Framework on p. 38. Replace Country with your organization and explore eight (8) of the cells of the matrix

	Economic 1	Environmental 2	Governance 3	Infrastructure 4	Social 5
Robustness 1	Cell 1,1	Cell 1,2	Cell 1,3	Cell 1,4	Cell 1,5
Redundancy 2	Cell 2,1	Cell 2,2	Cell 2,3	Cell 2,4	Cell 2,5
Resourcefulness 3	Cell 3,1	Cell 3,2	Cell 3,3	Cell 3,4	Cell 3,5
Response 4	Cell 4,1	Cell 4,2	Cell 4,3	Cell 4,4	Cell 4,5
Recovery 5	Cell 5,1	Cell 5,2	Cell 5,3	Cell 5,4	Cell 5,5

For example, take Cell 1,1 as defined by Economic / Robustness. A question we might ask is, how robust is your organization’s economy / financial situation?

Or take Cell 2,5, how redundant is your organization’s society (management team, employee’s, …..)? Any backup management? Any succession plans in case a key manager retires suddenly or …?

Or Cell 4,2 how fast could your organization respond to an environmental problem?

And so on.
