Guidelines for resilience systems analysis - Facilitation guide

The following guidelines provide detailed guidance on how to organize a Resilience System Analysis workshop. They support the OECD’s “Guidance for Resilience System Analysis”. The steps for the workshop are outlined in Figure 1. The guidelines have been written in a generic manner so that they can be applied to all contexts, and with all scoping questions – the resilience of what, for whom, to what risks over what timeframe? A successful workshop will require at least two facilitators. These people should alternate their leadership of different workshop sessions based on their various areas of expertise. Two days of preparation, on-site, will be needed to set up the workshop. The workshop itself takes two days. One further day will be required to ensure a good debriefing after the workshop. PowerPoint presentations to support the workshop are available on the OECD’s resilience website: www.oecd.org/dac/governancedevelopment/resilienceroadmap.htm. The PowerPoint slides include notes to help the facilitators prepare the workshop sessions. Thumbnails of these PowerPoints, and supporting notes, can be found at the end of this Facilitator’s guide. All the hand-outs for the workshop are attached as annexes.
