Key Performance Indicators for Achieving Resilience
Perhaps the number one concern of resilience professionals is “How well will my resilience plan work when a real event occurs?” This is true for just about any plans or procedures that address disruptive events and how to respond to them.

Another technique is to identify characteristics of the plan that can be measured in some way. Specifically, the goal is to examine and rate the performance of specific plan attributes.
Industry veteran, Paul Kirvan, describes KPIs and provides examples of KPIs for resilience.
