ABSTRACT

Your project is prepared and is equipped with the necessary flexibility to engage with adversity. The next step is to develop a commitment to contain risk and uncertainty appropriately, and to prevent complexity from cascading into a full-blown crisis. Each part of the project must be ready to work together coherently to align the execution of responses with the problems at hand as and when they arise. Nevertheless, some sub-units in your project will need support to counter each problem. They cannot always just act on their own. Collective ownership goes hand-in-hand with collective accountability, yet this also needs to work in tandem with individual responsibility to act on risks and uncertainties. It is a delicate balance.
