ODTI-DSMT-OrgCMF™-Reference Models

In Psychology, Personal Resilience is a concept that has suffered from being subsumed in other concepts, but Organizational Resilience is still seen as important by both Leaders and academics alike, in terms of planning and making preparations for market, system & ecosystem shocks; however, academics are in agreement that Resilience is seen to best effect when it is evident in organizations in terms of built-in levels of Capabilities, Redundancy in Resources, Connectedness beyond immediate market, etc. It is in large part, subsumed in the concept of Integrativity that is central to Dynamic Systems Maturity Theory (DSMT) which encompasses all of the features associated with both Resilience and Agility – a combination that is touted by everyone, but is only offered in a singular normative framework and process by DSMT as operationalised through OrgCMF™.
Of the many definitions touted for Resilience, DSMT is most congruent with those that are holistic, and accommodate its higher-Level response patterns, as in the following first example from a Psychologist for Personal Resilience and then a second one for Organizational Resilience:

“Resilience is the integrated adaptation of physical, mental and spiritual aspects in a set of good or bad circumstances, a coherent sense of self that is able to maintain normative developmental tasks that occur at various stages of life” (Richardson, 2002).

“Resilience is the ability of an organization to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruptions in order to survive and prosper” (Denyer, 2017, p.5).

A 2021 Global Study by ODTI with the University or Groningen (Masters) found that that ‘Organisation/Business Resilience in times of Disruption is both Predictable & Actionable.’
