4.20pm: Clarke Ching - Never let a good crisis go to waste
Innovation and invention skyrockets during emergencies. All of a sudden everyone realises that flexible working is actually possible and we see things like people 3D printing face-shields and businesses and individuals adapting fast, and often very well, to the "new normal".
As Winston Churchill noted in his famous quote, never let a good crisis go to waste. The "resistance to change" that seems to normally holds us back fades away in times of crisis. We focus, laser like, on solving the big gnarly problems and ignore the trivia. We change the rules and get on with things.
But then, when the urgency fades, this approach quickly fades away and life quietly rolls back to the way things always were. Rules are reinstated, flexibility reduces again and in many cases, the innovative mindset across business and government slips away with it.
So, how do we harness the good changes and keep them alive once the crisis has faded away?
With a particular focus on remote teamwork, international best-selling author Clarke Ching will talk about how to harvest the innovations that have come out of the crisis, keep track of them now, cherry-pick the good ones, then, adapt them so they make our lives better later.
Never let a good crisis go to waste. What we do now can change how we work in the future.
