## Abstract

A program resiliency management system having a resilience management engine that can generate a resiliency metric representative of how resilient a program is with respect to a particular event. The resiliency metric can be based on the characteristics of a program represented by program features and features related to the impact a particular event has on a program. The resilience of a program represented by the resiliency metric can be with respect to a program's capacity to resist an event, respond to the event, and recover from the event.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A program resiliency management system comprising:
a program interface configured to receive a program information including program features associated with a program;
an event database storing events, each event having event attributes and program impact attributes; and
a resilience management engine communicatively coupled with the program interface and the event database, and configured to:
obtain the program features via the program interface;
generate event selection criteria as a function of the program features;
identify a set of events having event attributes that satisfy the event selection criteria;
select a selected event from the set of events;
derive a resiliency metric of the program based on the program features and program impact attributes of the selected event; and
configure an output device to present the resiliency metric via the program interface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the program features include at least one of the following: a repair status, a training status, logistic features, personnel data, business objectives, plan status, subject matter expert review, stakeholder alignment data, cultural factors, supply chain data, regulations, and program history.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the set of events includes at least one of the following types of events: a supply chain event, a natural event, a technology change, a personnel event, an internal project event, an internal program, an environmental event, a legislative event, and a regulatory event.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the set of events includes a black swan event.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the set of events includes at least two events.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the set of events comprises a ranked list of event ordered according to a satisfaction score derived as a function of the event attributes and satisfaction criteria.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the resiliency metric comprises a resistance measure representative of an ability of the program to resist the selected event as derived from program impact factors of the selected event and the program features.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the resiliency metric comprises a responsiveness measure of representative of an ability of the program to respond to the selected event as derived from program impact factors of the selected event and the program features.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the resiliency metric comprises a recovery measure of representative of an ability of the program to recover from the selected event as derived from program impact factors of the selected event and the program features.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the resiliency metric comprises a multi-valued metric.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the resiliency metric comprises statistical values.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the resiliency metric comprises different values at different times.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the resiliency metric is dynamic with respect to time.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the resiliency metric comprises a multi-level metric.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The system of claim 14, wherein the resiliency metric reflects at least one of the following program levels: a program level, a project level, a workflow level, and a task level.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The system of claim 14, wherein the resiliency metric reflects at least one of the following lifecycle levels: a program phase and a project phase.

### Claim 17 (depends on 14)

The system of claim 14, wherein the resiliency metric reflects at least one of the following asset levels: a facility, a module, an assembly, and a person.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a notification module configured to generate a notification based upon changes in the resiliency metric.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a recommendation engine configured to generate a recommendation on how to change the resiliency metric based on historical program data.
