Disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has been significant and far-reaching for many organizations. While the specific impacts have varied from industry to industry and workplace to workplace, a common thread is that many businesses have been or will soon be forced to consider changes to their operating mode and ways of working in order to survive.
Across the world, organizations are having to make remarkable changes to how they operate. Many have reacted quickly, doing whatever is required to keep their employees safe and the lights on; some have moved into improving their resilience to this challenge.
We have identified four phases that organizations will move through as they respond to COVID-19.
1
Reaction
Responding to immediate challenges
2
Resilience
Managing through uncertainty
3
Recovery
Resetting and identifying opportunities
4
New reality
Adapting to a new world
