Identifying routes and organizational practices for resilient performance: a study in the construction industry

AbstractModern organizations live in a context of political, economic, technological, social and environmental changes for which they need to be prepared to adapt and continue operating successfully. In this sense, a more resilient performance becomes a fundamental factor for an organization ’s success. In this article, we present the ResiliFRAM method, a detailed description on how to use the Functional Resonance Analysis Method—FRAM to analyse resilient performance. The aim is to understand how the resilience abilities, monitoring, anticipating, responding and learning, are articu lated producing a resilient performance. ResiliFRAM uses ergonomic analysis to understand Work-as-Done (WAD) and FRAM to identify routes for resilient performance. ResiliFRAM was applied in a case study in the construction industry of the building sector and the results indicated that it is possible to shed light on some organizational practices that afford a more resilient performance.
