Unit 4 : Assessment and enhancement of the preparedness capacity of organisations
Assessment and enhancement of the preparedness capacity of organisations
•Complex task to assess and enhance the preparedness capacity
•Mathematical mechanisms for the optimisation in the selection of the preparedness actions
•Easy way to support the decision making process to make the organisation more resilient
Summary and Takeaways
1.It is very difficult to decide about which measures are the best to be implemented to enhance the preparedness capacity
2.It is necessary to define powerful mechanism but, at the same time, easy to use to support the decision-making process
3.Small problems are easy to solve but bigger ones require software tools
Check your understanding
