Transformation
What does a sustainable transformation look like during a crisis? Here are five signposts: 1) Be resilient – do what it takes to survive; pivot, adapt, bounce back. 2) Be inclusive – help the most vulnerable; volunteer, donate, pool resources. 3) Be frugal – find ways to do more with less; reuse, recycle, go circular. 4) Be connected – use technology to increase communication; e-work, check-in, share solutions. 5) Be healthy – put people’s wellbeing first; exercise, de-stress, allow recovery. A crisis is a great opportunity to break the mould, to rapidly test new ways of producing, working and consuming. Let’s not waste it.
