Power on past Covid

摘要

Is the evolution of a practice strategic or one big opportunistic adventure? When we be-gan interviewing practices 18 months ago to discover how they navigate the thresholds of emergence, maturity and succession, we couldn't imagine how dramatically their re-silience would soon be tested. Here we look at how disruption - whether due to economic recession, changes in government policy or personal circumstance, or unforeseen events such as global pandemic - can interrupt a practice's trajectory, in the best cases setting it on a completely new evolutionary curve. In previous articles on ribaj.com, we identified forward thinking, shared val-ues, lack of ego and space for individuals to develop as important foundations for a re-silient practice. The most successful prac-tices use moments of arrival along the way as opportunities to set the tone, recharge the team's energy and act as a springboard towards the next. Is it possible for moments of disruption - rather than arrival - to act as similar opportunities for practice evolution?
