For the past decade, leaders have been focused on building resilience—the ability to bounce back. They and their teams needed to be able to endure disruption, recover, and move on.
But the pace of change, in particular the impact of AI, means that there is no longer a “return to before.” The pressure does not ease, goals are constantly shifting, and the fundamental idea of resilience needs to be reframed.
Indeed, the traditional business ideas of transformation and change management will also have to give way to new ways of dealing with the new non-normal. Why? Because the ideas of transformation and change management pre-suppose a fixed destination that, once reached, means that we can move on and focus on something else. That is no longer the case: The “to” in the classic “from-to” exercise is now in constant motion.
