How Do You Reinvent Your Organisation When You're Exhausted?

Organisations are facing a prolonged period of uncertainty, challenging economic conditions, seismic geopolitical shifts, climate change, and societal fragility, much of which has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. Yet some – particularly those operating in ecosystems – have prospered, creating stronger competitors.

In this context, reinvention – of purpose, strategy, business model and culture – will be a necessity for many. While it’s tempting to want to stabilise your organisation at this point, this ongoing phase of the crisis presents an opportunity to take a fresh look at your company and take steps to make it more resilient. It prompts some important questions, including: How do we rethink how we design strategy and put it into practice (given most strategies fail)? How do we effect change when many of our people are exhausted? Where do we start, and how do we manage the tensions, trade-offs and paradoxes along the way?

David will share some practical strategies you can use, along with stories and case studies to illustrate the points he makes.
