World Resilience Consortium
Lasting resilience
begins with people
Organisations that invest in resilience know it: lasting performance emerges when there is attention for the person behind the professional.
That is why the World Resilience Consortium has set itself the goal of contributing to the resilience of 1,000,000 people by 2030.
Our productsThe programme
Resilience despite adversity
Helping 1,000,000 people become more resilient by 2030. That is the goal. It is why we developed ADAPT: Advancing Despite Adversity Program to Thrive. A programme that helps people and teams keep growing under pressure, not in spite of reality but right within it.
ADAPT embeds resilience structurally within the organisation. With targeted interventions for employees, leaders and experts, the subject stays continuously relevant and visible. Resilience becomes a fixed part of how the organisation works and performs, rather than a one-off initiative.
Advancing
Stands for purposeful growth and continuing to move towards a vision, even when things get hard.
Despite
Resilience as something you actively develop, not only once problems arise.
Adversity
Resistance is part of it, these are the moments where we learn and grow stronger.
Program
Our programme helps employees develop resilience and cope with adversity.
To Thrive
Where ADAPT is working towards. The ability not only to bounce back, but to grow sustainably as an individual, team or organisation.

The ADAPT programme
Securing resilience within your organisation takes more than a one-off exercise or a library of standard content. Based on the AWARE approach, we have developed a versatile programme with a wide range of blended interventions.
This programme contains specific components for Employees, Leaders & Teams, and Experts & Organisations.
Our approach
Built on PR6
The six domains below form the foundation of the ADAPT approach, giving employees insight into their own resilience and development points so they can take action.
Based on the model by Jurie Rossouw, PR6 describes six domains that together determine how resilient people and teams are. When these domains are in balance, people can deal better with pressure, uncertainty and change.
