ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
What happens when multiple shocks hit us?
Have we reflected on 2020 and what have we learned?
Have we identified the cracks in our systems?
How can we enable ourselves to be better prepared for the next crisis?
⛳️Uncertainty and complexity are states of nature.
⛳️We will never have full knowledge.
⛳️There are no templates to tell us exactly what to do.
⛳️We will always make mistakes.
By acknowledging the above, we allow ourselves to experiment, place early bets, fail fast, and try again. We will acquire the missing information. We will figure out where the holes are and will be able to think ahead.
Today, my guests are Rajshree Agarwal and Constance Helfat.
