More Learnings

One of the learnings from Covid -19 is the 'storm is the norm', ie increasingly rapid and complex change, with increasing amounts of uncertainty, is becoming the new norm.

"...the mismatch between the reality of more change as the new norm and our inclination to look for stability has tremendous implications..."
John Kotter, 2021

These changes have created more threats to our mindsets, status, ego and reputations. From our brains' points of view these threats are indistinguishable from physical, personal attacks; constant anxiety, stress, etc is a consequence for many people. Luckily, we have the tools, especially technological, to help people handle this.

It involves more people being active participants in how they and their organisations handle the changing environment.
