Preparing for DISRUPTION
2020 turned our world upside down. In the beginning of that year, many businesses expected some technological and economic upheaval and had started planning for it. But what happened in the coming months caught everyone by surprise.
And when business leaders caught their breath… and looked around…
The business world had turned upside down…
Business-as-usual didn’t work any longer…
Covid made it very very clear that businesses cannot work in silo… all businesses are a part of the large eco-system… and no organization can remain “un-disrupted” by the changes happening around them.
Looking around us now, we know that 2020 wasn’t an exception.
The world is becoming more dynamic by nature…
Change is becoming the name of the game…
Disruption is becoming the norm…
- Political changes…
- Economic uncertainty…
- Technology upheavals…
How do we prepare for this??
I think the only way for businesses to be prepared for systemic disruptions is to become dynamic organizations.
So far, the corporate name of the game has been to build systems that focus on…
Analyzing…
Predicting…
Planning…
Controlling…
These systems have worked very well in the past.
I doubt they will work so well in the future.
Systems that help navigate a big ship in good weather are VERY DIFFERENT from the systems you need to navigate a raft in white water.
They just don’t work in the same way.
- We need new systems.
- We need systems that work well in uncertainty and turbulence.
- We need new skills and mindset to develop these systems.
What kind of mindset should we adopt?
What do YOU think?
I’ll talk more about it in my next post 😊
