A recent article<\/a> published by McKinsey & Company touches on many points I make to my audiences as a business resilience speaker<\/a>. The following point was interesting, especially as businesses are all struggling with adversity:<\/p>\n Optimal crisis preparedness includes defensive measures such as buffers and financial reserves but equally important<\/em> are active response capabilities. These allow organizations to quickly adapt<\/em>, grow into the new conditions<\/em> and move fast on new opportunities<\/em>. Crises have accelerated the growth of the digital economy, with more organizational and societal buy-in for remote meetings, cloud computing, and digital banking.\u201d<\/p>\n While it is a given that cash reserves are essential to weather the storm, as important in my opinion as a business resilience speaker, is that organizations must adopt a mindset of being able to quickly adapt and to seize on new ideas, emerging opportunities and new circumstances in their markets.<\/p>\n
