Things are meant to change - for better or worse - as part of evolution and life. The final stage of #businesscontinuity is to return to #normal business operations, but what is "normal"? Is it your old normal or a new one? Many factors go into that. The old normal is familiar and expected. No problem going back to it, especially when business continuity is *supposed* to bring you to it. Sometimes the normal has to be new due to circumstances being altered so significantly by outside forces. Or, even better, you elect for a new normal in the spirit of being agile and taking the opportunity to be creative. They are all winning if it means #survival of the business and the ability to #thrive. There is a time, however, when I don't like a new normal. I was listening to Bryan Cranston's autobiography, 'A Life in Parts,' on Audible He was talking about how he used to play with toy guns. Then JFK was assassinated. One of his friends said, "I'm not playing with guns anymore!" So they stopped. "We tossed our guns aside as if it would cure or alter the course of things that already happened. Urgency was lost and we went back to normal. But a new normal." The new urgency after Helene was we-have-to-do-something to help the businesses get back. But as Bryan said, urgency gets lost and we go back to normal. A new normal of just accepting these sorts of things happen and there is nothing you can do to stop them (there is something!). #Disasters make budgets open for investing in #mitigation and #preparedness. In some cases after the next Helene doesn't materialize in 2 years, spending cuts happen to business continuity planning. This is not everyone's commonplace experience. But it happens often enough it is a tracked trend in the industry. This "New" Normal can become a repeat of what was. It can become recovery without resilience. It can be tapping out on taking preventative action. Or not. You have the power to choose another normal. Secure. Survive. Thrive.

Nobody is immune to business disasters. Not even the best of us. But, how you prepare can make all the difference. Navigating numerous crises, I've learned that resilience isn’t just a buzzword—it’s your business's lifeline. From personal financial strain to professional setbacks, the path hasn’t been easy, but it's been instructive. Here's how to bulletproof your business. Here are 3 critical signs you need help with business resilience. 1️⃣ Chronic Operational Disruptions Your operations are the heartbeat of your business. If you're constantly putting out fires, it's a signal. Disruptions can stem from outdated processes or underprepared teams. Without streamlined operations, you're always a step behind. 2️⃣ Financial Fluctuations If your financial health feels like a rollercoaster, pay attention. Effective resilience planning smooths out the peaks and valleys. It ensures financial stability through diversification, prudent budgeting, and strategic forecasting. 3️⃣ Poor Crisis Response How quickly can you respond to unexpected challenges? Slow or ineffective responses can compound damages. Building a responsive plan involves training, clear communication channels, and pre-defined action steps. Ready to make your business unshakeable?
