COVID has been a great Paradox : it has sloweddown the world, yet accelerated change. Vaccines have been the miracle thathave helped the world emerge out of this massive disruption. However,vaccines do not cure a disease but teach it to produce the right antibodies andgive it immunity- if the disease strikes again, the body has the right defencesto resist it and win. This session explores how we can learn from COVID andvaccines and produce the right ‘antibodies’ in our organisations today, so asto make our company immune from external disruption, and thus build ‘theimmune organisation’.The session identifies seven such strategic ‘antibodies’ that we need todevelop – around business models, technologies, digital, culture, etc; how tobuild them, and then how these would help our companies survive and thrivein this increasingly uncertain world – of pandemics, wars, and global warmingrelated catastrophes.The session also draws on Nassim Taleb’s work on Black Swans andAntifragility and explains how the participants can use these seven‘antibodies’ to build an immune, antifragile organisation.The session also has an interesting dose of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings,to make it more interesting!
