Dear Sergio
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
The concept of resilience applied to psychology and ecology is relatively recent compared to that of Charles Darwin at the origin of species (adaptability)
Apparently there is something new below the sun
Not at all, nothing new below the sun. Just to put other reference, take a look to any sport in the documentation about how to be a sport coach. Unfortunately some people create new buzzwords on old concepts trying to sell something but the only thing they do is to contribute to general confusion. I am working from long time ago researching on human consciousness and those are items to take into account.

Dear Sergio
Thank you for your answer
I would really like to read your different approach to this topic ... and I am not just referring to this specific topic
I am convinced that you have a lot to share with us
Ah ... by the way. I just saw some videos of Brené Brown on vulnerability. Very ... very interesting.

Dear Thomas.
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
I also appreciate the warning about the link
Below your comment I put a new link
I am convinced that the context will not be the same after this change brought about by Covid 19
Based on this premise and that resilience is different from adaptability, which will be more appropriate?
Dear Luis,
Corona certainly changed our awareness of these things but I think it did not change their meaning, which is age-old, as Sergio says.
For me adaptability is / must be included in resilience. You are not resilient if you are not able to respond flexibly to severe changes.
I respect other mental models, but this one helps me.

Dear Thomas.
Thank you for your opinion
Maybe I have a different understanding of yours than adaptability and resilience
For me, the example of resilience is that of bamboo
At the end of the storm, it always returns to its original position
What would be the parallel with the current situation?
Nothing will be as before ....
Hello Luis Branco
I put my coin on resiliency.
Rational
Merriam-webster dictionary defines
Adaptable : capable of being or becoming adapted
and
Resilient : characterized or marked by resilience: such as
a: capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or rupture
b: tending to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change
I would say that human race is by default, "adaptable", it is on our genetics.
In opposite to resilient an attribute that which of us have but similary to materials, limits vary from individual to individual.
SARS-Cov2 is a good metaphour.All of us have adapted e.g. use masks, wash hands more frequently, social distance. Although some are more resilient to the disease than others, why? better immunitary system due to proper nutrition, sleep, exercise, less stress, polution, or just pure genetic heritage luck.
regards

Dear Asif
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
Interesting your perspective when applied to each of us individually
Can the same concept be used in relation to the way we develop our activities in the project context?
Dear Luis, In context of Project , our resilience & adaptability is influenced by the Project constraints, assumptions & risks, along with our personality, principles & values. In my opinion, It makes a complex mix. For example , there are ground rules, do one has to be adaptable or resilient in the violation of ground rules? Saving Changes...

Thanks Luis. I spend my time in two forums: linkedin and here. I participate in those debates where I think there is an opportunity to learn from people comments then I read each comment posted no matter the amount. My way to participate is with "passion" then sometimes, adding to add that english is not my first language, I wrote my comments "as-is", in the same way if I would have the person face to face. So, your post is very valuable for me and it is something I am debating including it in my actual work place where I am accountable for some things closely related and the misinformation and the intentions "to innovate" about topics well known and well studied create unnecessary noise that jeopardize my work and the work of others. No matter that, my actual work place spend lot of money in some or the items. Up to day I believe I still survive because they return to me and saying "Ok Sergio, you said and demonstrated the way we will get is not the best for our situation. Now we return to your recommendations". Unfortunately that´s not add value for me.

The question makes me think of a tree. Needs to move/sway with the wind yet return to the upright position when calm. If you don't move you need incredible strength to prevail otherwise you break.
Thus one sways when necessary (flexibility/adaptability) to ensure an ability to revert to normalcy (resilience). Saving Changes...
