This week we feature Kenton Friesen in our #FutureOfResilience series.
"The future of resilience is promising but un-necessarily complex; and if clarity is not sought and established then the future of resilience itself is at risk of remaining ambiguous and potentially fading into irrelevance."

Something to consider:
1.It is interesting that the ISO Online Browsing Platform (OBP) has 48 definitions for the word “resilience”.
2.There are many different perspectives regarding “resilience”, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
Personal Resilience
Community Resilience
Climate Resilience
Technology Resilience
Organizational Resilience
Business Resilience
Operational Resilience
3.Many think the idea of proactively addressing risk is a new concept. Those who have being using the Emergency Management pillars of Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery have been proactively trying to mitigate risk to reduce the need to prepare for, response to, and recovery from risks and hazards for decades.
