A truly unprecedented global situation

What we initially thought was a short-term halt to ‘business as usual’ is now turning into a longer-term major disruption of the way we do business – and go about our lives in general. It likely to be 2021 before life begins to go back to ‘normal’. It is very probable that travel will continue to be disrupted, meetings will not be allowed (certainly of more than ten people at a time) and there could be more lockdowns, home schooling and restrictions on movement may come back. Time and again.

It is also very highly likely that organizations will be working in an economy in recession, customers may be very wary of spending money, some organizations will be re-starting themselves and supply chains will be disrupted.

And, employees may have very different expectations of how they want to work. Home working will be greatly more utilized, they will be wary of commuting in packed trains and busy roads and they may feel very uncomfortable attending meetings in enclosed spaces.

 What organizations need to do to respond to the challenge

Organizations need to deliver two types of change over the next few months and into 2021.

• In the short-term - organizations are reactively responding to Covid-19. For example, clothing manufacturers who are making PPE I direct response to the situation they find themselves in

• In the medium-term – organizations will need to take a more strategic view and proactively adapt to the new environment. For example, many businesses will be accelerating their transformation to digital as more and more business activities shift online

This will generate a high volume of change that will need to be implemented effectively for organizations to survive and prosper. If you add these two types of changes to all the personal changes that leaders and their teams are already undergoing it becomes very clear that strong change management skills are critical for success.

In fact, more so, than ever before.

How we can help right now

Given the scenario we outlined earlier, delivering change effectively through engaging people is more important than ever. The organizations who are most effective at implementing change will be the ones who have the most competitive advantage.
