Leading and Managing Resilient Organisations
The Leading and Managing Resilient Organisations research group's purpose is to assist organisations to become more agile, increasing their ability to adapt to sudden changes, to learn, and continuously improve their performance. Through our research and partnerships with businesses, we work to create organisations that not only survive but also thrive in a variety of challenging circumstances.
Our expertise is in the areas of organisational studies and people management. We include specialists from a range of organisational sciences, including strategic management, human resources, organisational behaviour, organisational psychology and organisational change.
Our recent work centres on organisational responses to the major Canterbury seismic events during 2010-2011. This is a rare opportunity to explore resilience processes where organisations have to manage in an extended crisis. Our projects address topics such as the Human Resources challenges, as well as major projects aimed at increasing the resilience of infrastructure organisations.
