Warren Ladbrook – Professional Profile
While the definitions of ‘Resilience’ can be debated at length, it is possible that more consensus is possible when discussing common characteristics. Over the last couple of years I have interacted a lot with the National Infrastructure Unit in New Zealand on this subject, whom have identified the following attributes of resilience:
Service Delivery – Focus on national, business and community needs in the immediate and longer term
Adaptation – National infrastructure has capacity to withstand disruption, absorb disturbance, act effectively in a crisis, and recognises changing conditions over time
