Resilience Defined

Merriam Webster defines resilience as
  • the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens
  • the ability of something to return to its original shape after it has been pulled, stretched, pressed, bent, etc.
These days, "something bad" can happen with little or no notice, devastating your small business, particularly if you are unprepared. Floods, fires, tornadoes, workplace violence, and epidemics are just a few examples of disasters that can impact business continuity. If your site is damaged, or your supply or distribution chain is disrupted, your customers may go elsewhere. They may not come back when you do. With planning and preparedness, however, you can build a resilient business. That is, you can't avoid all damage in the event of a disaster, but you can greatly improve your ability to stay in touch with customers and bounce back quickly.
