NEGOTIATING & RESKILLING THROUGH A BLACK SWAN EVENT

The world is not the same any more. An unwelcome visitor has discreetly embedded itself as a variable and disruptively devastated the economic, social, political, environmental and technological equation of life. The progress of civilization has suffered a rude setback as we see a black swan event unfold and push humanity through an existential crisis. The felt consequences are stimulating multifaceted responses, but the battle is a long way from over. To be fair to this visitor, we must confess the treatment has not tried to discriminate in terms of race, gender race, color, wealth and geography. And it is precisely this equalizing attribute which tells us that it is time to initiate course correction. On the business side of things We have to reskill and renegotiate, revisit and reposition and revalue for the sake of an important stakeholder we have conveniently forgotten. PLANET EARTH. As a future manager and on to a business leader we have to provide for the mitigation of risk in the world we live in today. The signs are not good. The frequency of black swan events have increased with time. And yet as a resilient species there is hope. Technology has provided us a platform to connect, educate, work and socialize and build virtual experiential highways of learning. The digital landscape is an ecosystem which will shape the way society functions tomorrow. A process which was incremental is now transformational and introduces the managers of tomorrow to a new metric of work. Happily for our planet, it gets some breathing space too.
