This is not something that just happens, but rather must be thoroughly planned for and tested, including: 1. Keeping hardware, the operating system, middleware, and applications up and running throughout planned and unplanned outages; 2. Recovering a site from an unplanned event without data loss.

Adaptability and Resiliency (Coursera)

To survive in today’s constantly changing business landscape requires being comfortable in uncertainty. Adaptability is what allows people and businesses to solve problems, overcome challenges and move back from the edge of attrition to the more stable ground of relevance. Adaptability is everything. — Jeff Boss, Forbes. Adaptability refers to your ability change your actions, course, or approach in order to suit different conditions or environments. Adaptability implies a sense of personal choice, of purposefully navigating—rather than being driven by—changing circumstances. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. Resilience gives you the ability to bounce forward with new insights and learning you can carry into the future.
