Episode 158: How Prepared Is Your Business? | 5 Metrics & KPIs You Should Be Tracking for Business Resilience
We’ve spent years helping businesses rethink how to measure the effectiveness of their resiliency program. In fact, we have a 200 question input form that examines just this. While this podcast episode is not long enough to share all 200 questions, we’d like to offer five metrics or key performance indicators (KPIs) you can use to help you assess your business resilience.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
What gets funded gets managed. When you can show how certain risks and initiatives are being reflected in a profit & loss statement, you’ll be able to get buy-in from leadership to closely track those initiatives and get more funding to support them.
Track your implementation. Do you have clear lines of authority and succession defined? Are procedures in place and are they communicated so that information can move across your organization?
What is your organization’s public information system, and do you have a crisis communications team or point of contact? How information is distributed to the public during and after a crisis is crucial for managing that crisis, and for your reputation.
