As we are learning the hard way, the new normal of climate change and a volatile, hyper-connected global economy mean that sudden natural disasters and unforeseen supply chain disruptions are here to stay—and pursuing business as usual is no longer a viable option.

In his new book, Resilient by Design: Creating Businesses That Adapt and Flourish in a Changing World (publication date: October 22, 2015), Fiksel outlines a new paradigm that helps managers design for resilience. Check out chapter two below.
