The World Today
- Organizational Resiliency is required to make a disaster seem like a mere disruption. At GCOR7 we ask the hard questions because it is the only way to get the best solutions. We do not give you a ready-made template to solve your unique needs. Because we live in a world that is caught in an explosion of exponential change, we are increasingly less prepared for the challenges that face us, ones that are daunting at best. This situation becomes further aggravated by the fact that the Threat Spectrum is concurrently continuing to expand, steadily progressing in: frequency, severity, and, cost, in both human and financial terms. We are being hammered, and in this, our resources and abilities to respond are being depleted by a compounded factor.
- In both the public and private sectors, those who have addressed this situation, largely depend on what they believe to be their “plans.” The problem with those “plans” is that they are seldom tested and challenged rendering them useless. As a stark reminder, we should remember that “plans” existed for a hurricane in New Orleans. And “plans” also existed to stop the would-be Christmas airline bomber of 2009, or would-be car bombing in New York City in May 2010, events only avoided by luck. And what of even benign system errors, such as ones in financial markets that send unnecessary, yet impactful, shockwaves acrosss a global community?
- GCOR7's associates offer a priceless network of professionals capable to address these challenges. Not only are we practioners in the field, but we are also students and educators of this complex global system we live in. The nature of the threat constantly changes, which is why we at GCOR7 also constantly update our own skills to provie you with the best possible results. The time to exchange business cards is not in the middle of a crisis. The time is now, before events happen, to: learn, understand, and prepare a coordinated solution that will speak our individual, institutional, and collective, needs.
- This is GCOR7's philosophy when preparing work for your organization.
- What If?...
- Consider: what if the “Toronto 18” had been successful in detonating three truck bombs in downtown Toronto?
- Would governments at all levels been able to effectively respond to the consequences of mass casualties and terror?
- Would the private sector have been able to continue operating in an environment where many of their employees were among those mass casualties and victims of the ensuing terror?
- Would the leadership, beyond the institutional level, been able to help a society cope with the psychological trauma of such an event; an event that has not, but inevitably will be, experienced in parts of the world that have not subject to it yet?
