MTF-Resilience Initiative 2022

The Moving Teams Forward (MTF) Resilience Series aims to develop a megacommunity around building adaptive and transformative resilience to known and unknown threats.  Funded by the Georgia Tech Moving Teams Forward Seed Grant Program, the MTF-Resilience community building process involves academics and public sector, private sector and not-for-profit practitioners. 

The initial phase of the team building process includes a bi-weekly seminar in which various team members share their thoughts and work on adaptive and transformative resilience.  You may access selected presentations below.  The Three Horizons Framework (Figure 1) is one of the foundational frameworks being applied in the megacommunity building process.
