Our practical psychometric for building resilience and adaptability during disruption
Adaptability and resilience both matter for success - be it in life or work. Particularly in times of the type of turbulence associated with major organisational and societal changes.
Yet organisations can’t continue to evolve and transform if people don’t change and evolve.
The problem with people is that predictability makes life easy for our brains.
The uncertainty of Change, plus the emotional roller-coaster associated with it (re-thinking, pivoting and starting over again) puts both our brains and our bodies to work. And it is important to develop resilience and adaptability in people in your organisation to meet the challenge.
Resilience is dynamic and it can be developed. But it can also become depleted over time. In fact our own research points to the fact that 76% of people feel overwhelmed by change.
