A Disrupted Workforce Requires Disrupted Thinking for Post-Pandemic Success

The #1 goal for leadership teams today is to emerge stronger from the COVID-19 crisis.

Seismic changes will impact the way organizations build sustainable businesses in the increasingly HVUCA (Highly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) post-pandemic world.

Your supervisors, managers, and leaders need new leadership skills and knowledge to propel your organization forward in the post-pandemic world. This is particularly important for small and medium-sized enterprises, many of which are in extremely vulnerable and precarious situations today.

Success (and even continuation as a business enterprise) will depend on future strategic thinking and planning, requiring a new set of tools, methodologies, and better decision-making processes.

Disruptive Workplace  

Three critical changes coming out of the coronavirus pandemic will determine the success or failure of small and medium-sized businesses over the next 18-24 months:

                    1)        Workforce disruption – what is the “new normal” and how will your workforce acquire the new skills and knowledge required for increased remote work and working from home?

                    2)       Better, different technology tools – operational excellence derived from improved worker performance in highly skilled roles, especially those working collaboratively with intelligent technologies that enhance cognitive thinking and behavioral skills.

                    3)       Workplace learning – closing the skills gap so employees have competency and confidence in using new intelligent technologies, while using professional development to improve employee retention and engagement.

These are seismic changes indeed! The future success of your organization will depend on how you think, how you make decisions, and how you prepare your workforce to execute your strategic programs. 

One solution is to apply Human Performance Technology (HPT), a scientific approach to improving performance as humans increasingly work collaboratively with intelligent technologies. This requires changes in both thinking and behavior. As Dr. Kenneth Roberts, Founder and CEO of The Perpejulant Institute says, “By modifying Human Behavior, it is possible to enhance Human Performance and the power within the Human Thinking Process.”

The Perpejulant Institute offers a leading-edge, comprehensive certification in Strategic Organizational Performance Acceleration (SOPA). This is a proven methodology for improving operational excellence, closing performance gaps, updating business models, and creating a culture of accountability and resilience tied directly to strategic and financial objectives.

Your organization cannot build and grow using less-than-optimal decision making in today’s highly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. In fact, as I point out in my latest book How Stress and Anxiety Impact Your Decision Making, it is not just WHAT you think, but HOW you think that will make a difference in the outcomes you generate.

Dr. Roberts and I are hosting webinars later this month and in July on Decision-Making Challenges and The Disrupted Workforce: Two Critical Factors for Sustainable Success in the Post-COVID World.

In this free, 50-minute webinar, I will show why a disrupted workplace requires disrupted thinking to move forward. Your organization cannot afford to return to the pre-pandemic world of making decisions under stress, pressure, and emotional duress.

Dr. Roberts will share research on how Human Performance Technology (HPT Model) can improve operational excellence, close performance gaps, and create a culture of accountability tied directly to strategic and financial objectives. Dr. Roberts will also share a certification process designed to improve worker performance, strategic planning, financial tactics, and adaptive learning processes to ensure organizational success post-COVID-19 and beyond.
