 A committee is being formed to lead the development work on what will be titled the ‘American National Standard Organizational Resilience Maturity Model–Phased Implementation’.
The resulting document will help organizations tailor implementation of the ANSI/ASIS Organizational Resilience Standard to their specific business needs. It will help companies evaluate where they currently are with regard to resilience management and preparedness, set goals for where they want to go, benchmark where they are relative to those goals, and plot a path forward. Furthermore, the standard will provide a basis for establishing defined levels for recognition programs for the achievement and maintenance of resilience criteria. This will empower small and medium size enterprises, as well as larger organizations, to tailor their implementation of the Organizational Resilience Standard to achieve, maintain, and demonstrate implementation objectives.
“Implementation of the Organizational Resilience Standard can be a daunting task,” says Marc Siegel, chair of the Organizational Resilience Maturity Model Standard Committee and commissioner of the ASIS Global Standards Initiative. “The phased approach recognizes that resilience must be achieved in balance with the business needs of an organization, including its time and financial constraints. This is best accomplished by building a system that is continually improving, growing, and maturing.”
Risk, resilience, and security professionals interested in participating on the committee should email standards@asisonline.org on or before September 15, 2010.
