Resilient Organisations is a six year research project designed to assist New Zealand organisations to recover economic competitiveness after hazard events by improving their resilience. Full details of the research areas is available on-line or as a downloadable PDF (175K).

Two important questions have to be addressed as part of the research Programme Resilient Organisations

Resilient Organisations research programme is designed to understand and improve the resilience of New Zealand organisations to major disruption.

The programme is divided into three inter-related objectives:
