The Never Normal concept covers the constantly changing business environment, with Seismic Shocks such as technological, biological, ecological, social, and even geopolitical driving Systemic Shifts. Every single one of these Shifts offers opportunities, and companies need to have an eye on the 'Day After Tomorrow' to seize these chances.
The Never Normal can seem daunting, and it’s not just about ‘robustness’, the capacity to brace and survive the Never Normal, but more so about ‘resilience’, the capability to bounce back, take advantage, perhaps bounce ‘forward’ to innovate.
Peter Hinssen will illustrate what he calls the VACINE model that address how the combination of Velocity, Agility, Creativity, Innovation, Networking and an appetite for Experimentation can help organizations and leaders re-think, re-set and re-boot the concept of security, identity and access.
