Abstract

In this moment of redefining the paradigm of how we live and work, it is more than obvious that change is one of the main elements of every process. The global pandemic has impacted on business, resources, and all environmental factors that influence the development of the economic systems. In this chapter, we spot the defining elements of the needed adaptation in management in order to facilitate a complex adaptive system and manage to deliver effective and efficient solutions. We, as humans, need to both initiate change and adapt to it, beyond our focus or influence. Purposeful, facts-based, dynamic, iterative, risk-prone, flexible time-bound, and sustainable decision-making are the postulates of the change we need to make nowadays in order to create a system that will work for both the business and its employees.
