28th International Congress on project Management "Project Management in the Digital Decade"

In recent years, the concept of resilience has garnered increasing attention from researchers in project management. Resilience of a system refers to its ability to maintain its structure, function, and identity despite facing unpredictable disruptions. Given that many events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, are difficult to predict and assess in terms of their likelihood, they require a different management approach. This underscores the need to apply the concept of resilience in managing high-risk projects. A review of the literature reveals that no comprehensive model facilitates resilience management in the face of unpredictable events. This paper aims to present the concept of resilience management and describe the main phases of this management process. Additionally, this paper seeks to provide general guidelines on how to design a project resilience management model that incorporates the phases of resilience management into project management.
