Abstract

In chapter 5, we saw that enterprise resilience extends well beyond product development, touching on virtually every business process from supply chain management to capital investment. Through resilience awareness, companies are able to harness the unique capabilities of human beings to reflect on experience, interpret new information, recognize systemic patterns, envision alternative futures, avoid unexpected consequences, and creatively adapt to unforeseen situations. These capabilities can be leveraged through the practice of DFR: examining every decision through a resilience lens and developing guidelines for building inherent resilience into the structure and function of all enterprise systems.
