Now Registering for January 2024!
From organizations thinking about large strategy questions about the future to practical operational issues, the Advancing Organizational Resilience Initiative will support non-profit organizations in preparing for the future.
OVERVIEW
ECVO, in collaboration with PolicyWise, is launching a unique opportunity for non-profits across Edmonton to strengthen and develop new capabilities, improve engagement and well-being, and turn crises into opportunities. The Advancing Resilience Initiative is geared towards strengthening resilience, as many organizations face the challenges of making informed decisions amid uncertainty and change. From organizations thinking about large strategy questions about the future to practical operational issues, the project will help leaders understand the sources and drivers needed to achieve organizational resilience.
ABOUT THE RESILIENCE TOOL
As many non-profit leaders continue to navigate these issues without support or guidance, PolicyWise has created an evidence-informed Organizational Resilience Assessment Tool for non-profits. The tool will seek to examine the six (6) domains of Organizational Resilience:
- Staff Connection to Mission and Vision
- Situational Awareness
- Planning and Adaptability
- Distributed Leadership
- Collaborative Networks
- Resource Availability, Management and Support
