An Agile Mindset Keeping Moving During A Pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has reminded us of two things. First is a large-scale, global risk that can occur at any time regardless of countries, paralyze global supply chains, and affect everyone, regardless of skin color, race, age, title or occupation. Second is the impact of these risks that changes all existing approaches and ways of doing things, requiring each individual to reset the mindset, thinking, posing and solving problems in a new way innovatively, flexibly without precedent. Those who cannot adapt, integrate and change will not be able to keep up with this selection of nature to keep moving forward.


 
The global Covid-19 response has demanded of all of us that we act under uncertainty, adopt new norms and rapidly change our behaviours. To many of us, this change feels both bewildering and uncomfortable - understandably so, given that behaviour change is one of the most difficult things to achieve.
 
Nevertheless, there is some comfort, and perhaps some wisdom, to gained by taking a long view to human history. This history demonstrates to us that every human society has, time and time again, had to cope with sudden behaviour changes in their daily lives and to find creative ways to move through times of uncertainty. Time and time again, human societies have shown themselves to be nimble, and we have adapted. In many ways, the story of human history is a story of agility.
 
In the context of the pandemic, an agile mindset will be the key for the New Normal, helping us respond to changes in uncertain and turbulent environments. It’s about thinking through how we can understand what’s going on in the environment, identify what uncertainty we are facing and figure out how to adapt as we go along.
 
 
With the agile mindset, we will live with the positive attitude and the spirit of collaborating with others to face difficulties and solve problems. Moreover, the agile mindset also helps us to quickly accept opportunities that come our way, not be discouraged by failures but consider them as lessons for improvement and more growth.
 
More than anything, the current situation has highlighted the need for agility, connection and adaptability – the factors that have always been appreciated in ITL. “Fire proves gold, adversity proves men”, what we have all done in response to the Covid-19 pandemic throughout 2020 and the first half of 2021 that has shown our agility and adaptability in uncertain times and these will be our strength so we can continue to be strong to overcome this difficult period.
