Evaluating Readiness and Ensuring Resiliency of Today’s Enterprises
Being ‘prepared’ is no longer an option in today’s all-hazards world – it’s a requirement
Every enterprise, regardless of its mission, operates in a challenging environment. Since September 11th, 2001, these challenges have become even more daunting. Threats of terrorism, natural hazards, accidents and unforeseen circumstances have tremendous potential for causing ripple effects that can put operations, reputation and overall performance at risk.
Catalyst Partners believes resiliency — the ability to withstand any of these ‘all-hazard’ threats by reacting, responding and recovering — is the key to long-term sustainability and success. The firm’s partners – some of whom held key leadership positions in, and worked closely with the US Department of Homeland Security to design key resiliency programs are leaders in the ongoing development of policies, programs, standards, strategies and partnerships that enable resiliency to happen.
If you are looking to improve your enterprise’s overall readiness and resilience, Catalyst Partners can help you get there.

Yesterday, the House Homeland Security Committee held the first in what will likely be a series of hearings on the Boston Marathon bombing. Other congressional committees will want to hold separate (and probably duplicative) hearings on the tragic event as well. As I (and others) have written before, in an era when all federal agencies are being forced to cut programs and spending, it would behoove Congress to lead by example and consolidate its oversight, per the 9/11 Commission’s advice offered nearly a decade ago.
