The exploration includes - - Backstories in preparations for changes caused by the pandemic - What really happened even when a few large companies had a BCP in place - What was the thinking behind the unravelling of responses of companies in a series of phases comprising sensing, focus and response - How did leaders ensure that rallying around a purpose was achieved, remotely and how were employees engaged and how their work rose to another level inspired by a greater purpose - Creative approaches to sustaining or managing business - The sense that a collective approach to discovering easier, safer things to share & increased empathy alongside the survival instinct - Though we all appear to be alone, we are certainly not alone; a contrast and take on how we associate ourselves with a mission and purpose and how the system in turn supports people and organizations.
