⛰ Managing the risks of change Adapting to change is hard for any organisation, as we tend to be averse to change due to the risk involved. Yet, as we’ve seen in the last few years, necessity can force big changes that we must navigate to survive and thrive. Change not only poses risks for charities, but it also opens up many opportunities. Managing change usually comes down to 4 key points. Reasoning why. Then, planning, implementation and communication. The latter is a component of every stage that is needed to be effective. Risk management is also a key facet of every stage. It tackles the risks head-on that could later cause resistance. So, including risk management at each stage of the process can help foster a better culture of change. The primary risk considerations are: ▶ Acting in the best interests of the charity. ▶ Performing a thorough risk assessment in consultation with key stakeholders. ▶ Developing a contingency plan should things not go as expected. ▶ Supporting the people and systems affected by the change. ▶ Implementing financial controls so you don’t expose the charity’s assets or reputation to undue risk. This article will go through the risk considerations involved at each step of the change management process. https://lnkd.in/eJE2sDxJ

After COVID-19: reorientation of crisis management in crisis The COVID-19 Pandemic has revealed all the weaknesses of different organisations, including macrostructures–the States. It turned out that they were unprepared for the COVID-19 Pandemic and simultaneously pretending to control unpredictability, which is invalid. The study identified weaknesses in the crisis response and argued that any organisation at the macro level should redefine the role of crisis management in crisis. There is a need for a co‐evolving system within the organisation, which means reshaping crisis management from a crisis management relational model into a crisis management three-dimensional flexible model. Crisis management based on risk analysis may be useless in organisational unpredictability. https://lnkd.in/eGYmdD5H

AFTER COVID-19. REORIENTATION OF CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN CRISIS. The global COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of various organisations, including governments. It has become clear that despite claiming control over unpredictable events, these organisations were unprepared for the pandemic. An examination of secondary data and the effects of the pandemic in multiple countries revealed its widespread impact, leading to economic slowdown and unprecedented restrictions on public life. The current economic restrictions will have far-reaching effects in the months to come. Additionally, weaknesses in crisis response have been identified, necessitating a reevaluation of crisis management at all levels, including the macro level. It is crucial to transform crisis management from a static, relational model to a dynamic, three-dimensional, flexible one that adapts to organisational unpredictability. This underscores the inadequacy of crisis management solely based on risk analysis in the current context. https://lnkd.in/dzCmCXZ3)

🚫✅ Don't just rely on rules to prevent disasters like Deepwater Horizon. Robert S. Kaplan and Anette Mikes break down the risks organizations face into three categories: preventable, strategy, and external. Here's a lighter take on managing risks in your daily life: 🚫 Preventable risks: Remember to always double-check if you turned off the stove. You never know when your cooking could turn into a disaster! ✅ Strategy risks: Riskily hitting the snooze button for the fifth time might result in a chaotic morning strategy! 🚫 External risks: The unpredictability of the weather could throw off your plans faster than a major macroeconomic shift! Stay prepared! Navigate life's risky business with a playful perspective and a sprinkle of caution. https://lnkd.in/ecBMV53
