The Resilient Plan
Planning when the ground keeps moving — change, disruption and the unexpected.
Most planning is taught as if the world holds still: a forecast meets a fixed workforce and the only question is how cleverly you match the two. Real operations don’t hold still — systems migrate, a big intake hits its leaving cliff, a strike or storm takes out half the floor, and last week’s forecast is already drifting. This paper is about the other kind of plan: the resilient one, built to bend with change rather than break against it.

- The change in the numbers: when to re-forecast, and when to hold your nerve
