As a society, from a health perspective, we have understood the enormous consequences of the epidemic and have embarked on the search against time for a vaccine that will immunize us against the current and future consequences of the Coronavirus. It seems reasonable that, as entrepreneurs, we should with the same urgency look for a vaccine, which makes it possible to immunize our companies against the enormous disruption that Covid-19 represents in social and economic terms.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Investing in innovation is the engine of growth.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Investing in innovation<\/b> In times of crisis it is key to ensure that current products and solutions evolve to adapt to new customer demands and are able to ensure sales growth in the future. For many companies, the toughest leadership test is now looming: how to recover sales and how to inoculate your company against the exponential change brought on by the COVID-19 crisis. The level of uncertainty is unprecedented, and most of our frameworks for planning and problem-solving are unable to handle the “new normal.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it your <\/span>An organization capable of innovation<\/b> in times of crisis?<\/span>Invest your company enough in innovation<\/b>Do you have the <\/span>The right culture of innovation<\/b>Do you have a <\/span>Innovation Ecosystem<\/b> that makes it possible for anyone regardless of their position in the organizational chart to innovate? <\/span>Business Agility<\/b> a strategic competency of your organization?.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are questions you can use as a rapid diagnostic test to detect if your company has the innovation-specific antibodies, and is ready to face the post-Covid-19 era and succeed in the long term. If there is a major gap, between where your organization is today and where it should be, the sooner you vaccinate your company the better.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Innovation in companies acts like vaccines<\/b><\/h3>\n

Businesses to thrive in a world of <\/span>
\nblack swans<\/span>
\n<\/a> They must be designed to anticipate and adapt to changing realities, combine artificial and human intelligence, make business agility a strategic competency, and harness the benefits of exponential new technologies and new business ecosystems. The good news is that in business terms the vaccine exists, and it’s called Innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the exceptional nature of the pandemic is forcing <\/span>disruptive and radical innovation<\/b> In most organizations, and there are many business leaders who are beginning to appreciate the speed with which their organizations can move once they change the way they do things. For example, working from home, or teleworking as a new way of working, is here to stay, and many companies are planning to move a significant part of their workforce to permanent remote positions in the future. Similarly, many salespeople and professionals across industries have become accustomed to using video meetings to manage customer relationships effectively in remote settings.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

From Surviving to Thriving<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest challenges faced by organizations in the face of the Coronavirus crisis is how to simultaneously achieve the recovery of traditional business and how to adapt to innovate and take advantage of the new opportunities of the post-Covid-19 world, since if there is one thing that is evident, it is that there will be no “return to normality”. The crisis offers an opportunity to reinvent the way we innovate to make it possible to exploit old certainties with the exploration of new realities.<\/span><\/p>\n

We therefore have to face up to the need for <\/span>
\nnew dual organisational structures<\/span>
\n<\/a> to interact with the new reality and the fact that the new imperatives of the post-COVID-19 world are not achievable with the hierarchical, highly centralized and bureaucratic structures that we have built since the first industrial revolution. The <\/span>Management of innovation in the organization of a company<\/b> It requires a leadership model, organizational structures, competencies, and business metrics other than the management of operations and quarterly results. The <\/span>transformational leadership,<\/span><\/a> Unlike the executive, it requires empathy, redarchy, influence and adaptation. It’s time to develop the <\/span>Business Agility<\/span><\/a> as a strategic competence in our companies. It’s time to get vaccinated. And this is impossible without the <\/span>companies invest in innovation<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is not to embrace agility as something to do, in addition to other business priorities, but as a fundamental means of accelerating all of the company’s strategic initiatives. Accelerating your organization’s transformation to an agile company ahead of your competitors may be the best decision you can make in times of pandemic.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
