ABSTRACT

Projects are constantly challenged by the effects of uncertainty. This chapter synthesises what has been written about project resilience and offers a way forward while also appreciating how difficult it is to be resilient in any true sense. The Rule-based approach is one of post-incident structural interdependence and temporal sequentiality. It provides the advantage of efficient automation to an incident; pre-loaded responses are automatically activated once an incident is detected. In comparison to a Rule-based approach, the Entrepreneurial mode of resilience commences with a mindful setup of practices, which enables a constant creation of answers to problems in an environment where solutions were rarely evident in advance. The mode of Infusion is an attempt to combine both the worlds of Mindfulness and rule-based behaviour in a contextual, and continuous pre- and post-incident manner.
