(2023). Seizing the Momentum to Build Resilience for a Future of Sustainable Inclusive Growth. The Private Sector Resilience Framework, introduced in a former publication, Seizing the Momentum to Build Resilience for a Future of Sustainable Inclusive Growth, is an integrated and strategic model designed to strengthen a company’s capacity to endure, adapt and excel in the face of disruptions. It consists of six resilience dimensions and four resilience capabilities. The resilience dimensions – financial, operational, market position and demand, societal alignment and purpose, digital and technological, and organizational – represent the key areas where resilience needs to be embedded. Each dimension addresses a distinct aspect of business stability, adaptability and alignment alongside external and internal pressures to promote resilience integration across an organization’s foundation.The capabilities – crisis response, strategic reorientation, foresight and preparation – are the skills and processes that enable an organization to act effectively within each dimension. These capabilities ensure readiness and adaptability by enabling companies to respond to crises, reorient strategies in response to shifts, anticipate future challenges and prepare systematically for potential disruptions. Together, this set of dimensions and capabilities forms a cohesive framework, offering a holistic approach that is not only agile and forward- thinking, but also adept at transforming crises into opportunities. The accompanying survey applies this framework to assess companies’ readiness as well as the concrete measures they have implemented related to these dimensions and capabilities.
