Resilience-to-Perform

Ensuring Performance

Organizations cannot prevent global crises and serious environmental changes and often cannot even foresee them. The consequences are “maximum uncertainty” and “perceived chaos” in our BANI-world, the acronym BANI stands for “brittle”, “anxious”, “non-linear” and “incomprehensible”.

Organizations must therefore develop future skills that make them resilient – but not in the original meaning of resilience as the ability (of a material) to “bounce back” to its original state after serious deformations. This “bouncing back” would be a bitter step backwards for any organization today, as the environment has changed further in the meantime.

Resilience must work on an emotional and cognitive level and directly link robustness with performance. This creates, among other things, the ability to act, a sense of control, well-founded confidence in achieving goals, strong performance and actively shaping the future in a responsible manner. This is what “Resilience-to-Perform” from MarkenFactory does. What decision-makers must never neglect is that an organization can only be resilient if its employees are resilient.

Resilience is capable of much more than robustness and mindfulness

The term “resilience” as the ability to “bounce back” comes from materials science. In the 1950s, it was recognized – and this has since been proven by a wide range of scientific research, empirical studies and reality – that resilience can achieve much more. Provided you understand its inherent power, know the different resilience competencies, know how they interact and have appropriate empowerment methods that effectively enable people and organizations to become (more) resilient in the long term and strengthen their performance.

Resilience-to-Perform increases Performance, Innovative Strength, and Competitiveness

To enable organizations to leverage and exploit their resilience potential, MarkenFactory has developed “Resilience-to-Perform”, which we have been training very successfully for years. We combine psychological and economic robustness with cognitive and operational performance. We enable organizations at all levels (leadership, team, individual) to innovate amid major challenges or crises, to actively drive projects forward, to achieve their goals and to work as high-performance teams. “Resilience-to-Perform” promotes forward thinking (instead of clinging to the past), a growth mindset (with a confident openness to the new and unexpected), thinking in terms of opportunities (instead of ‘can’t’), positive dynamics (instead of retreating into the comfort zone), the ability to shape the future responsibly; it increases performance, innovative strength and competitiveness.

Resilience-to-Perform – the Highly Effective resilience training

We focus on the six key emotional and cognitive resilience competencies:

Performance (Leadership – Team – Person)
Leadership Skills & Mindset
Emotional stability
Cognitive performance & sense of coherence
Social competence & emotional intelligence
Identity & identification (DNA of skills & values)

Companies benefit from “Resilience-to-Perform” on several levels such as leadership skills, high performance teams, innovative strength, employee communication and corporate culture. Current studies point to the above-average growth of companies with a well-founded and practiced resilience strategy in relation to the market and competition. Resilience in this forward-looking sense is now recommended by leading economists, experts and foundations (including economist Mark Carney, who called for „New risks, new resilience“ in 2020 or the so-called “Wirtschaftsweisen”, who called for „Resilienz und Wachstum stärken“ in their 2021 report).

“Resilience-to-Perform” has a Lasting Effect

Resilience-to-Perform has a lasting and demonstrable effect at management, team and personal level, enabling people to always remain actors in the situation and to master challenges and the unexpected under their own steam. It strengthens the growth mindset and can be learned by anyone at any age. Here, robustness interacts with performance, with one dynamically reinforcing the other.

Resilience-to-Perform makes you sustainably fit for the future. It is the bundled empowerment on which responsible innovation and healthy high performance thrive in the long term. It is based on the latest empirical findings from around 70 years of resilience research. It enables people to remain healthy and productive amid perceived and real crises and to actively shape the present and future. This resilience is like riding a bicycle: once you have learned it, you may get a little out of practice, but you never forget how to do it.
