We are living in extraordinary times of great change. Our usual working patterns have been disrupted into a new normal of Zoom meetings, reduced time in offices, intensified operational pressures, and reduced opportunities to pause and reflect. The importance of timely, accurate information is higher than ever, but the leaders' and employees’ ability to access it may be greatly compromised. This concerns information for the work that must be done, but also to strategically understand where the organisation is and where your own career might go.
Building on her 2015 paper in MIT Sloan Management Review (‘Staying in the Know’), Dr Korica discusses how you can stay meaningfully informed, avoid unexpected blind spots, and capitalise on the new reality of the Covid workplace to create novel opportunities to stay in the know.
Dr Maja Korica teaches on the Executive Diploma in Organisational Change.
