Measuring individual resilience to strengthen society as a whole.

We created the Resilience Index – a unique tool that helps measure, understand and develop resilience of adults, children and companies in the Czech Republic.

How the Resilience Index works

Solvo Institute

Resilience is the ability to adapt to changing conditions and environments.

Resilience is the ability to function even in challenging and changing conditions. It doesn't mean things won't go wrong or that we won't experience stress, uncertainty or pain. It means we can adapt, find our footing, draw on others, use our resources and move forward.

At Solvo we understand it as an interplay of 8 dimensions: physical activity and health, mental health, adaptability, cohesion, material security, skills, trust in institutions and values. It is this combination that determines how we manage everyday life pressures and personal, societal, economic or security crises.

Our goal is to help people understand their own resilience, strengthen it consciously and create conditions for a safer, more stable and functional life for individuals, families and society as a whole.

DIMENSIONS

8 dimensions of resilience

Resilience emerges from interconnected areas that mutually influence each other. When one weakens for long enough, it eventually affects the others. Improving one area in isolation is not enough. Resilience grows when multiple dimensions are aligned at once.

Values

What I rely on when making decisions in uncertainty and how I see my life.

Awareness of what one believes in, what they consider right and what gives their life direction and meaning.

Physical activity and health

How much energy I have and what my body can handle long-term.

Fitness, health, energy, sleep, movement and the ability to recover.

Mental health

How I handle pressure, uncertainty and what happens inside me.

Psychological stability, managing stress, emotions, anxiety and long-term pressure.

Adaptability

How I can adjust the way I function when conditions change.

Ability to respond to change, learn new things and adapt to new conditions.

Skills

How much I can manage, how far I can go and how wide my options are when conditions change.
