How did Abbott Laboratories invent and start mass manufacturing a critical 5-minute COVID-19 test in a few short weeks? 3M make and ship tens of millions of face masks to protect workers on the front line? What did Walmart, CVS, General Motors and thousands of hospitals around the world do to successfully adapt to fast-changing ground conditions?
If there’s one lesson every organization, large and small, will take away from the current pandemic emergency, it’s that they have the ability to move faster and more decisively when faced with a crisis.
Why is that?
Emergencies have the ability to dissolve “institutional resistance.” Soon, even the largest, most successful organizations start behaving like start-ups – willing to assume risks, make investments, and take actions they would have never previously considered. Everything speeds up. More importantly, their new-found tolerance for failure quickly empowers workers of all skill levels and experience to participate in new, highly effective, collaborative ways.
Join the pre-eminent global expert on “fast adaptation in high failure-rate environments,” award-winning scientist and futurist, Rebecca D. Costa, as she discusses the key attributes and strategies which allow some organizations to thrive in the face of crisis, as well as behaviors which send others into an irreversible tailspin. Don’t miss an opportunity to learn about the 12 principles of successful adaptation using real world examples and discover the steps businesses, nonprofits, individuals, and nations must take to ensure a lasting recovery.
