Every organization faces many serious threats. Serious threats jeopardize organization's very survival. Business resilience management enables organizations to stay prepared against serious threats. We distinguish between regular threats and risks from serious threats as those risks which can have some impact on business but won't make it go bankrupt.

Some examples of serious threats are:
1. Serious economic downturn
2. Entry of a formidable competitor
3. Emergence of a new business model
4. Technological substitution with much better solutions
5. A new regulation prohibiting business operations
6. Social unrest
7. Pandemic outbreak
8. Terrorist attack
9. Serious internal fraud
10. etc.

Organizations stay resilient by identifying serious threats, analyzing them, working on preventive measures, modifying aspects of resilience management on a continual manner. Throughout this process, they communicate and consult with stakeholders and monitor, review and test resilience measures.

This Business Resilience Toolkit describes this systematic and logical process in detail. While most organizations manage resilience to some degree, this Business Resilience Toolkit establishes a number of practices that need to be satisfied to make resilience management effective.

This Business Resilience Toolkit recommends that organizations develop, implement and continuously improve a business resilience system whose purpose is to integrate the process for managing resilience into the organization's overall strategy, planning, governance, management, reporting processes, policies, values and culture.

The Adaptive US Business Resilience Toolkit provides comprehensive policies, processes, templates, guidelines, checklists and implementation plan to ensure an effective Business Resilience System.
