/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance is delighted to announce that Resilient Thinking: Protecting organisations in the 21st century, published by its specialist publishing arm, ITGP, is now available to purchase through all its online bookstores. This fantastic book will revolutionise the reader’s approach to risk analysis and crisis management, so that even if the worst does happen, they will be fully equipped to handle it. Find out more at www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3947.
In times of crisis, the effectiveness of ‘one-size-fits-all’ plans and checklists is often limited, due to the fact that no two businesses are the same. In Resilient Thinking: Protecting organisations in the 21st century, Phillip Wood discusses the importance of thinking laterally about potential impacts on an organisation and examines a ‘thinking’ approach to resilience management.
Targeted at resilience, business continuity, security and disaster managers in the private and public sectors, and suitable for all levels of management due to the jargon-free and easily readable style of the text, the unique approach of Resilient Thinking: Protecting organisations in the 21st century will enable readers to:
•Optimise profitability by thinking about how to make the right decisions for their organisation in the current business climate.
•Recognise potential risks and threats to their organisation and minimise impact, should the worst happen.
•Understand the drawbacks of ‘silo’ operations and obtain the buy-in of all employees and departments to their resilience planning.
•Improve their efficiency and profitability, as they critically assess the organisation’s strengths and weaknesses.
•Put plans in place which are cost-effective, relevant, workable and reality-based, and which will enable a return to ‘business as usual’ as quickly as possible after an incident.
The author, Phillip Wood who is currently Head of the Department of Security and Resilience at Buckinghamshire New University, has delivered security, resilience and business continuity education and consultancy in a number of different countries and to numerous organisations. From this experience in a wide range of security and resilience disciplines, Phillip shares his extensive knowledge in Resilient Thinking: Protecting organisations in the 21st century, taking a simple approach to a subject that so many think is complicated.
He adds, ‘This book challenges many parochial views in this business discipline and emphasises freedom of thought, anticipation and an educated view of the topics. It does not follow the overwhelming bias of current literature towards checklist and plan writing in police and military styles, which do not necessarily fit within modern, multinational business environments.’
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance comments, ‘In the 21st century we are seeing an increasing number of natural disasters, cyber attacks and the concern surrounding economic stability is not going away any time soon. This unique book provokes readers to think more laterally about resilience management and how they can undertake risk analysis and crisis management using a new approach, to make sure their organisation is prepared.’
