The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be - Looking Beyond COVID To A New Normal

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated unique challenges, forcing organisations to respond to unprecedented events at previously unknown speed. Many organisations are currently focused on short-term survival, responding to ever shifting events and trying to pivot home based operations, re-configure workplaces and keep operating effectively.

But we have reached the point where leaders now need to look ‘over the hill’ beyond the current challenges of near-term survival and start to plan for the new ‘normal’.

Whilst we can’t predict exactly what the immediate future holds, we believe the situation will never fully return to business as we knew it before the pandemic, and perhaps that is a good thing.

This workshop will explore a number of themes and reflections on future organisations and workplaces which are emerging from the COVID-19 crisis. We will explore emerging hybrid organisational models; the rise of the remote homeworker; the arrival of permanent flexibility; the acceleration of digital transformation and the emergence of new working practices.

This workshop takes a step into a transformed workplace…. A re-imagined place because as we emerge from an era-defining period of disruption, our focus is gradually shifting from crisis management to developing the organisations of a new working world.
