APPLICATION OF MILITARY METHODS IN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS TO ENSURE ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE

Santrauka

The study explores how military-inspired leadership principles and decision-making frameworks can be effectively integrated with business continuity and management practices to enhance organizational resilience. The aim is to investigate how combining military leadership models with BCM, Agile methodologies, and crisis communication strengthens an organization’s adaptive capacity and recovery capability. Research objectives are: (1) to integrate BCM approaches — including PDCA, BIA, and recovery objectives (RTO, RPO, MTPD, MBCO) — with military decision-making models such as Mission Command and the OODA loop; (2) to examine Agile principles and STARCC as complementary frameworks; and (3) to synthesize recent literature (2020–2025) and practitioner insights (Jatautaitė, Radvilė, & Terminas, 2025) to develop a holistic resilience model. Findings indicate that iterative planning, decentralized decision-making, rapid feedback loops, and structured communication significantly enhance organizational resilience. The study proposes an integrated framework combining military leadership, BCM tools, Agile methods, and crisis communication to sustain adaptability, performance, and competitive advantage.
