FINAL WORD
Organisations need to be ready for the good , the bad and the ugly . So how do we build resilience in our workforce and organisations to ensure we can weather the micro and macro-level instability that ’ s expected to continue into 2024 ? unexpected new players and maintain relevance . It also encourages innovation . In this scenario , finding stability is not going to help you in the future , because there are so many unknown factors you can ’ t control .
Noel Allnutt , CEO , Sekuro
Be an infinite player Innovate at the speed of relevance
Popularised by Simon Sinek , the idea is that in life and business , you can either play a finite or infinite game . Finite games are like football . You have a set amount of players , with fixed rules and an agreed-upon objective – to score more points than your opponent .
Taking advice from NASA – we don ’ t need to create a new EV car or spaceship to be relevant . Building resilience requires a pragmatic approach to addressing the challenges facing organisations today .
On the other hand , in an infinite game , you don ’ t know who all the players are or when they ’ re going to enter the game . There are no set rules and the only objective is to keep playing , meaning there are no winners or losers either , only those who drop out .
Where finite players play to win , infinite players play to survive . Surviving requires resilience to fight
When change is inevitable and we ’ re operating in an environment that ’ s not static , that ’ s when we need resilience .
