The workshop will focus research in designing resilience into regions and organizations so they display a sustained capacity for change, therefore increasing their ability to survive a crisis and thrive in contexts of high uncertainty. Relevant research must address the role Information Systems and Technologies can play in managing the collective and distributed capacities to
- Anticipate potentially disrupting events;
- Avoid or prevent their occurrence;
- Plan and prepare for disruption required to protect the organization / community /region;
- Recover to a new fully functional state and assure continued operations.
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together IS scholars who are conducting research into Information Systems to support/enable resilient organizations, communities and/or regions to economic crises, which is a topic within the field of IS that is gaining relevance given the many sources of uncertainty lying ahead. The workshop will provide a forum within which participating scholars can collaborate to determine the scope and thematic content of the area of IS for Resilience.
