August is almost over. The dog days are winding down.

Before you sprint into September, one last checklist from DRI:

🐾 What your recovery plan taught you this month:

✅ It doesn't have to be pretty to work
✅ Small updates beat big rewrites
✅ You're more patient than you thought

🐾 What your dog days reminded you:

✅ Rest is part of resilience
✅ Low-energy months are for maintenance, not marathons
✅ September can wait one more day

Happy National Dog Month to the resilience pros who keep showing up – even in August. 🐕

🐾 One last bonus: Drop a picture of your rescue pup looking ready for September (alert ears, walking vest, or just that "let's go" energy). Or honestly, a nap picture works too. We've earned it.

DRI’s four-day course, Supply Chain Resilience (SCLE 2000), provides students with the knowledge and tools needed to create and maintain a supply chain resilience program that will enable their organizations to anticipate, prepare for, and recover from disruptions across their supply chains.

Students will learn how significant vendor disruptions have brought supply chain vulnerabilities to the forefront of continuity and resilience programs. Applying the DRI Professional Practices for Business Continuity Management, this course provides the tools to assess and quantify risks, understand the connection and reliance among internal operations and suppliers, and develop strategies.

Adopting a rescue dog takes time to build trust.

So does adopting a legacy BCP.

🐾 Signs you're making progress with your rescue plan:

✅ It only makes you sigh now, not rage
✅ You've renamed the confusing steps instead of just tolerating them
✅ One person outside your team actually looked at it (progress!)
✅ It hasn't failed a real test yet – even if it's ugly, it works

You don't need a perfect plan. You need a plan that shows up when called.

Just like a good dog. 🐕

🐾 What's one small win you've had with your "rescue plan" this month?

Bonus: Show us your rescue pup's best "I'm still a work in progress" face. Bedhead. Side eye. Half-chewed toy in mouth. We want to see them!
