In this paper, collective corporate resilience is studied to see how a culture of sharing information and planning may assist other business communities to prepare for future events. The London 2012 Summer Olympic Games will see huge opportunity for businesses in London, and across Europe, but not without cost. Canary Wharf lies in the heart of London's Docklands and less than three miles from the Olympic Park at Stratford. Purpose-built as a business district, it accommodates a working population of 95,000 people, is home to some of the world's leading brands and has a vibrant retail complex of over 200 shops, bars and restaurants. This business community is preparing for every aspect of the Olympics and, in particular, the disruption the Games will bring. As a private estate, the community resilience approach fostered here is both better defined and finite in terms of those it includes as a result. Preparing together with joint exercises, forums and open communications in a network of trusted partners is yielding collective benefits and lending a stronger voice in the call for more information from official agencies. This paper outlines the benefits of collective planning and reports on the success of Canary Wharf's annual estate-wide business continuity exercise - the first major collective Olympics planning exercise in London.
在本文中，我们研究了企业集体韧性，以探讨信息共享与规划文化如何帮助其他商业社区为未来事件做好准备。2012年伦敦夏季奥运会将给伦敦乃至整个欧洲的企业带来巨大机遇，但这并非没有成本。金丝雀码头位于伦敦码头区的中心地带，距离斯特拉特福的奥林匹克公园不到三英里。它是专门建造的商业区，容纳了9.5万工作人口，拥有一些世界领先品牌，还有一个由200多家商店、酒吧和餐馆组成的充满活力的零售综合体。这个商业社区正在为奥运会的各个方面做准备，尤其是奥运会将带来的干扰。作为一个私人区域，这里培育的社区韧性方法在其所涵盖的范围方面定义更明确且有限。通过在可信赖的合作伙伴网络中共同进行联合演习、举办论坛和开展开放沟通，正在产生集体效益，并在向官方机构索要更多信息的呼声中发出更有力的声音。本文概述了集体规划的益处，并报告了金丝雀码头年度全区域业务连续性演习的成功情况——这是伦敦首次大型集体奥运会规划演习。
