3 Reasons Why You Should Use This Crisis To Make A Change

Every crisis the words “never waste a good crisis” pop up. The COVID-19 crisis is no exception to this. And along with these words, there is action too. We see it practiced in business, where after years of slow development, working from home is suddenly accepted. We see it in education, where online education takes a sudden flight. And we see it in government, for example in the EU trying to use this crisis to assemble the budget for creating a greener and more digital Europe.

The words date back to Winston Churchill’s “never let a good crisis go to waste,” when he argued that the United Nations would never have existed without World War II. He had a point and so do the many people who bring in these words today. But what is it about crises that makes them such strong accelerators of change?

A good starting point to understand what is going on, is David K. Hurst’s 1995 book Crisis & Renewal: Meeting the Challenge of Organizational Change. As he convincingly argues in that book, crisis is the driving force behind any significant change—renewal. The main reason, he continues, is that a crisis transforms organizations from a stable “performance mode” into a more flexible “learning mode.”
