Building effective organisational resilience

How can we ensure our organisations contain the conditions for people to thrive? New Research in Practice resources explore effective organisational resilience.

Resilience is too often interpreted as being an individual’s ability to cope but it is important to frame it in a wider sense. The challenging landscape currently facing children’s and adults’ services requires a perspective that considers what it means to build a resilient system.

A series of new videos examines what a resilient organisation looks like for the workforce and for people needing support. The videos were developed as part of the annual Research in Practice Leaders’ Forum which explored the role of inspection and regulation, plus the impact of marketisation on system resilience.

In a new blog, Dyfrig Williams introduces the videos and explores the key themes from the conference that include recruitment, community spirit and assurance.

The resources form part of a new Research in Practice campaign exploring organisational resilience, retention and assurance.

These videos take a strategic lens to explore what a resilient system looks and feels like for the workforce and for people accessing support, and the role that inspection, regulation and marketisation can play on system resilience.

Resilience, retention and assurance

Resilience is sometimes misinterpreted as meaning an individual’s ability to cope, instead of looking at the features and conditions of the system in which people can thrive. A new Research in Practice campaign considers what it means to build organisational resilience.

The resources cover key topics including:

  • Care Quality Commission assurance
  • Recruitment and retention
  • Regulation and assessment
  • Resilience
  • Systems leadership
  • Wellbeing

All of the resources will be available on our dedicated resilience, retention and assurance page. These will be released over the coming months.
