Enhancing Crisis Preparedness and Resilience Through Collaborative Evaluation: An Organizational Involvement Approach

Building resilience in times of crisis requires more than predefined protocols. Instead, it demands a dynamic, inclusive, and continuously evolving approach. This poster presents a framework that integrates collaborative evaluation into crisis preparedness, emphasizing active involvement across all levels of an organization. Combining the Model for Collaborative Evaluations (MCE) with established crisis management frameworks enhances adaptability, ensures continuous feedback, and strengthens decision-making processes. Unlike traditional top-down assessments, this method fosters collective responsibility, allowing organizations to refine their preparedness strategies in real-time. Through case studies and practical applications, this poster highlights how collaborative evaluation improves organizational learning, crisis response effectiveness, and long-term resilience. Attendees will gain actionable insights into fostering a participatory evaluation culture, ensuring preparedness strategies remain relevant, effective, and responsive to emerging challenges. This approach positions evaluation as an essential and ongoing process for organizational resilience and success.
