Resilient and agile organizations

Geo-political tensions, the climate crisis, threats to multilateralism and the digital revolution trigger uncertainty for business. Against this backdrop, COVID-19 brought human tragedy and unprecedented disruption. The resilient organization can take knocks without bruising. It has solid organizational values, governance structures; shared strategic goals and performance indicators; principle-based processes, high employee engagement, good knowledge management; and excellent stakeholder trust.

The agile organization is curious and open to ideas. It sparks innovation, relishes change and values the learning that comes with potential failure. It thrives on problem solving, with responsibility delegated to the front line to react to rapidly changing circumstances in the local context.
