π our wake-up call
Complexity and chaos are the new normal as climate change drives more crises our way β pandemics, refugees, environmental disasters, and the overall degradation of our environment. To prepare for chaos, we need people who can act. Identify these people and give them experiments or skunk-works to play with. We will need leaders who can also deal with complexity. They will have to be constantly experimenting and probing their ecosystems. Organizations who are serious about surviving in the βpost-covidβ normal will have to take a hard look at their leadership and management structures. The time to change is now, not when the next crisis strikes.
