Conference on National Resilience

Ono Academic College is sponsoring a conference on the subject of “National and Organizational Resilience:  From Crisis to Reality” that will take place on Wednesday, 24 February 2021 from 10:00 to 12:00 on Zoom.

 

The conference is the first event promoting the opening of new specialization in “National and Organizational Resilience” in Ono’s MBA degree. This program is unique in Israel. This degree will give managers practical and theoretical tools for formulating plans to build organizational and national resilience during routine times.  Building resilience is a critical component in dealing with crisis situations, and only those who have prepared for crises during times of quiet will be able to emerge from them strengthened.
