Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time to look inside your company's heart
Check the pulse of every critical part
Black swan events can strike without warning
But resilience scores help see the morning
Grab your scorecard, be honest and true
Rate each dimension, see what you can do

[Chorus]
Score and gap, find where you lack
Three lowest scores need your attack
Ninety days to make it right
Specific actions, shining bright
Who's responsible, what's the cost
Without a plan, the game is lost
Score and gap, close that gap

[Verse 2]
Leadership commitment, is it strong?
Communication pathways, are they long?
Risk assessment, do you know the threats?
Recovery procedures, are you all set?
Technology backup, can systems survive?
Supply chain resilience, keeps you alive

[Chorus]
Score and gap, find where you lack
Three lowest scores need your attack
Ninety days to make it right
Specific actions, shining bright
Who's responsible, what's the cost
Without a plan, the game is lost
Score and gap, close that gap

[Bridge]
Measurable actions, not just dreams
Assign the owners, build the teams
Resource requirements, count the cost
Present to leaders, nothing's lost
Transparency breeds accountability
Turn your weakness to capability

[Verse 3]
Take your lowest three and make them shine
Draw up plans with a clear timeline
Who will lead and who will follow through
What resources do they need from you?
Present your findings to the leadership crew
Show them the path to something new

[Final Chorus]
Score and gap, now close that gap
Three lowest scores, time to adapt
Ninety days of focused might
Measured progress, done it right
Leaders backing, funds in place
Resilience shows on your company's face
Score and gap, you closed that gap

[Outro]
From assessment comes the way
To be stronger every day
Black swans cannot break your stride
When resilience is your guide
