Micro-Resilience: Building Executive Muscle Memory

with Claire Mechan

VenueHilton Lac-Leamy, Gatineau, QC

About the Session

The traditional 4-hour business continuity simulation is a relic of the past. In an era of "permacrisis," our leaders don't have half a day to sit in a windowless conference room playing through hypothetical scenarios that expire the moment they are written. It's time to move from marathon simulations to sprint resilience.

In this high-energy session, we explore the "Micro-Resilience" framework: a radical shift toward 15-minute flash drills. Learn how to build genuine neurological muscle memory in your C-Suite and other teams without ever sending a calendar invite. We will break down how to stop "planning for the worst" and start "training for the reality," reducing your organization's Mean Time to Assemble (MTTA) from hours to minutes. This will be an interactive engagement, allowing participants to engage in micro-drill readiness.

What You Will Learn

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand, Handling the "Executive Pushback": Turning annoyance into advocacy.
  2. Incorporate the 5-step S.T.A.R.T. method for launching low-friction, high-impact drills.
  3. Develop a roadmap for transitioning your BC program from "Periodic Testing" to "Continuous Readiness."
