KEYNOTE: Resilience as a corollary to agility Dr Linda Holbeche Co-Director The Holbeche Partnership As collective experiences of the pandemic illustrate, organisations can become extremely agile when there is an urgent and significant challenge that calls for an innovative approach. Whole workforces have adopted remote or hybrid ways of working. Leaders are communicating in new ways. The challenge is to avoid ‘snap back’ to how things were and lose the benefits of agility. To bounce back better than before, and equip organisations for ongoing change in the 4th Industrial Revolution, resilience is needed – personal and organisational. Linda will outline what is involved in becoming resiliently agile, not least the ability to anticipate, actively learn from new approaches and also prioritise worker wellbeing. © The Henley Forum 2021 henley.ac.uk/henleyforum @HenleyForum The Henley Forum
