A PRACTICAL APPROACH RESILIENCE INSIGHT ADVOCACY
WHO MOVED MY SERVICE DESK? RESILIENCE INSIGHT ADVOCACY
FINDING INSIGHT RESILIENCE INSIGHT ADVOCACY Adaptive Capacity “The power or ability to return to the original form, position after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity; the ability to recover readily; buoyancy.” “The ability to learn—about yourself, about the world around you, about what it takes to adjust to, and to make, change.”*
FINDING INSIGHT RESILIENCE INSIGHT ADVOCACY Adaptive Capacity THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING For want of a nail the shoe was lost.For want of a shoe the horse was lost.For want of a horse the rider was lost.For want of a rider the battle was lost.For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. -- Children’s nursery rhyme
FINDING INSIGHT Adaptive Capacity RESILIENCE INSIGHT ADVOCACY Where do we start? ACTION: Initiate honest conversations about employee capacity (how are you doing), what is actionable today, what are the risks and opportunities? (“Resilience 1-page”)

FINDING INSIGHT People and Context RESILIENCE INSIGHT ADVOCACY “While Einstein said he had no special talent aside from being passionately curious (and being possibly the smartest person ever), he also knew how to make time for insight--a skill that's scarce in our present cult of stimulation.” “When asked how he would spend his time if he was given an hour to solve a thorny problem, (Einstein) said he'd spend 55 minutes defining the problem and alternatives and 5 minutes solving it. Which is exactly opposite of what the vast majority of executives today would do.” “Einstein’s Problem-Solving Formula, And Why You’re Doing It All Wrong”, Drake Baer, Fast Company, March 26, 2013.
