A Study in Resilience: How South Plains College Built a Culture of Organizational Resilience

Organizational resilience encompasses more than processes and procedures or executing a business continuity plan step-by-step; it’s about an organization’s ability to be agile in the way it approaches risk. The dynamic nature of risk has forced organizations to reevaluate their people, processes and technology to break silos and embrace transparency — creating a culture of organizational resilience. As the world emerges from the global pandemic, South Plains College has managed to build community trust and maintain operational agility in the face of the evolving risk landscape.
