After a period of beta running, the UNDRR (United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction) has made its new free-to-use Resilience Maturity Assessment (ReMA) tool fully available. ReMA is aimed at helping organizations of all types and sizes to ‘Build resilience. Strengthen continuity. Unlock long-term value.’
Developed by UNDRR and its Corporate Chief Resilience Officers (CCRO) network, the Resilience Maturity Assessment tool provides an online self-assessment framework which gives clear, practical feedback to identify gaps and enhance resilience. The tool also offers ready-made templates and expert recommendations to support effective improvements.
The self-assessment framework is based on six pillars of resilience:
- Policy & governance: Overarching approach to resilience management
- Leadership & culture: Role of top management and awareness in the organization
- Organization: Responsibilities, cross-function liaison, and risk alignment
- Capacity: Limitations of the potential response and how they are resourced
- Operating model: Integration of resilience with business activities
- Value chain: Meeting business objectives and supplier resilience.
