Challenge 1: Resilience Plan
Preamble:
In Puerto Rico, more than 25% of businesses disappear after a natural disaster or major crisis. This affects the growth and economic development of the country and, therefore, the life of each Puerto Rican. By analyzing the data, we see how lack of planning is the primary cause for these cases to occur.
The challenge:
Develop a Resilience Plan for a business so that it can effectively face a natural disaster. It must ensure, among other elements, that it supports the achievement of maintaining a presence and impact in a community (market). It includes reinvention tools and strategies (accelerated pivot), establishes adaptation methods and promotes a replicable or scalable approach.
