What does a resilient outcome look like?

Six domains for thinking about performance, protection and long-term value.

Make the intended outcome clear

Resilience is meaningful in relation to a service, its context and acceptable performance. TAR encourages teams to consider consequences across six connected domains.

Operational effectiveness

Keep asset-supported services within acceptable performance limits.

Safety & integrity

Protect people and the integrity of assets and their operating environment.

Security & trust

Support trustworthy information, systems and decisions.

Sustainability & adaptation

Respond to environmental change and consider resource use over time.

Compliance & assurance

Maintain evidence for relevant obligations and accountable decisions.

Lifecycle value & adaptability

Consider long-term value and the ability to adapt as needs change.

Evidence matters

Improvement should be supported by evidence appropriate to the decision. A checklist, a model or an unexplained score is not by itself proof that resilience improved.
