The current challenge that organizations face: understanding and acting with speed and agility.

To those that believe that our planet is going to be the same or very similar to the one we lived on before this pandemic, we invite you to answer these questions:

• Do you think that we have not seen the fragility of the human beings?
• Do you think that our way of life is going to be the same and that we do not need to change?
• Do you think that your organizations are going to remain the same after being able to overcome the biggest crisis that humanity has known in over a century?

One of the readers of our last blog said that “we should manage internally in a different way and overall understand others.” We are seeing this, not only as individuals, but also as organizations and in the way of acting with whom they interact from day to day.

How do we achieve this in our organizations? In my opinion, the solution is already working in many of them. It is called “projecting” their actions in an agile way, taking on a higher risk level, permanently understanding the needs of those that should see the benefits of the proposed changes. Understanding implies new challenges for every organization’s human resources to be able to quickly and precisely attend to the new market demands.

Something that we have been able to observe during this pandemic i show the organizations are able to quickly adapt to the new situation with a large dose of creativity and innovation. This is perhaps one of the biggest things that the majority of organizations around the world have learned from this experience that came about totally by surprise and full of great uncertainty.

The leader of an organization wrote us: “… and, as to change in the organizations, it has been at a devilish pace. I would say, fortunately, successfully. But with a lot of fear for what is coming, because… the uncertainty is absolute.”
