COVID-19 Crisis Response

DEALING WITH EXTREME CHANGE

Dealing with COVID-19

Organisations operating during times of ‘extreme change’, experience significantly more stress than during ‘business as-usual’. This is because there is increased pressure on the decision-making capability of the teams, as decisions often need to be made where there is:

Incomplete or conflicting Information
High levels of scrutiny
Compressed timeframes
Significant impacts

The capacity to respond well to change is heavily dependent on adaptive decision-making.

Janellis have niche expertise in working with executive leaders to help navigate through some of the most complex challenges, threats and opportunities their organisations are facing.

In response to the COVID-19 many business leaders are needing to:

Respond to a declared emergency, incident or crisis

Build resilience and be prepared for a range of potential cascading impacts on the organisation in the short and longer term

Uplift capability and build an adaptive capacity to deal with change for the medium to long term

Re-calibrate their strategic objectives, considering the many ‘unknowns’ of COVID-19, to minimise its impacts and capitalise on opportunities

The approaches below have been used in industries including aviation; banking and finance; construction; education; emergency services; insurance; hydro; manufacturing; transport; telecommunications and utilities.

Boards and Executive Leadership Teams

Many Boards and Executives are in uncharted water in responding to the impacts of COVID-19 although some industries have been better prepared for ‘catastrophic’ events than others.

Crisis, Incident and Emergency Management Teams

Crisis, Incident and Emergency Management Teams are being challenged in new ways in their capability to respond to the impacts of COVID-19.

Project and Strategy Teams

Many strategy and project teams have been impacted by the impacts of COVID-19 although some strategies or projects have been impacted more than others.
