This paper outlines the procedure of employing novel software tools within a series of participatory workshops designed for measuring and monitoring the resilience of Austria's socioeconomic system based on network analysis and systems research. This study employs the principles of the four-stage adaptive cycle to quantify the perspectives of major stakeholders regarding resilience readiness in Austrian society and to explore the implications. At the company in Vienna, 278 representatives from 15 key sectors of Austrian society were asked to estimate the resilience of their respective sectors and identify the key resilience factors for each sector. Results pinpoint the most critical stakeholders and resilience factors, highlight the importance of quality relationships among stakeholders, and indicate that while stakeholders accurately perceive the stages of growth (), equilibrium (), and regeneration (), they tend to underestimate the significance of the final (Ω) stage of the adaptive cycle, characterized by disturbance and collapse of outdated systems. Improved recognition and preparation for each stage may result in the increased resilience of each sector to potential crises in the future. Notably, perspectives regarding resilience in the face of a crisis were gathered prior to the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, in addition to fulfilling an analytic-diagnostic function, resilience monitoring techniques are also intended as an adaptive tool for novel resilience management.

本文概述了在一系列参与式研讨会上使用新型软件工具的过程，这些研讨会旨在基于网络分析和系统研究来衡量和监测奥地利社会经济系统的恢复力。本研究采用四阶段适应周期的原则，以量化奥地利社会主要利益相关者对恢复力准备情况的看法，并探讨其影响。在维也纳的一家公司，来自奥地利社会15个关键部门的278名代表被要求评估各自部门的恢复力，并确定每个部门的关键恢复力因素。结果指出了最关键的利益相关者和恢复力因素，强调了利益相关者之间良好关系的重要性，并表明虽然利益相关者准确地认识到增长（）、平衡（）和再生（）阶段，但他们往往低估了适应周期最后（Ω）阶段的重要性，该阶段的特点是过时系统的干扰和崩溃。更好地认识和为每个阶段做好准备可能会提高每个部门在未来应对潜在危机的恢复力。值得注意的是，关于面对危机时恢复力的观点是在新冠疫情爆发之前收集的。因此，除了履行分析诊断功能外，恢复力监测技术还旨在作为一种新型恢复力管理的适应性工具。
