A series of six webinars enabling you to reposition, reskill and reshape your organisation, for business success right now, and for future agility. In the first webinar of six, Professor Andrey Pavlov shared his thinking on how having either a Mechanistic or Complexity Worldview will drive different behaviours that affect the strategies that organisations create, and how those strategies are then translated into action.   | **Speakers** **[Professor Andrey Pavlov](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/knowledge/author/professor-andrey-pavlov)**, Professor of Strategy and Performance | **Webinar**: Discovering your strategy for thriving in the new world **Duration**: 1 hour | | --- | --- |   He shared topics and perspectives that generated great questions and discussion from participants, including 'Skill vs Innate Talent vs Luck', and 'being comfortable with not having a perfect strategy'. It was rewarding to have such a passionate group of webinar participants posing questions, and also sharing their knowledge and views with each other. Determining the skills needed to move through and beyond Covid-19 cannot exist in a vacuum; one needs to consider the strategy required.   [![WATCH NOW](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/417879/0f357733-0b15-4624-ac6e-bc0c9b8cb5ab.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/417879/0f357733-0b15-4624-ac6e-bc0c9b8cb5ab)     ### **About the Series** Organisations have been forced to implement new ways of working in the current pandemic. Employees are having to rapidly adjust and learn new skills. Many organisations are finding their values and culture are becoming prominent in the public eye. Many organisations are fighting to survive. Others are also grappling with the question “How can we learn from this experience and ensure that we, and our workforce emerge from Covid-19 better placed to respond to the next crisis? McKinsey & Company wrote an [insightful article](https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/organization/our-insights/to-emerge-stronger-from-the-covid-19-crisis-companies-should-start-reskilling-their-workforces-now) which contained six pragmatic steps to help organisations address aspects of this question. This prompted us to create a series of six interconnected one-hour webinars, each one of which resonates with one of the six McKinsey steps, and draws upon our faculty expertise and experience to help you ensure your organisation survives and thrives post-Covid 19. Featuring expert faculty and partner organisations share their thinking and ideas in interactive sessions designed to support your journey through this pandemic and beyond.   **Episode 1: Discovering your strategy for thriving in a the new world** Professor Andrey Pavlov, Cranfield School of Management [**WATCH ON DEMAND**](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/en/discovering-your-strategy-for-thriving-in-the-new-world-od) **Episode 2: Prospering post Covid-19 crisis: What leaders need to be and do** Paul Surridge, Principal Consultant, Mercuri Urval [**WATCH ON DEMAND**](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/en/prospering-post-covid-19-crisis-od) **Episode 3: Delivering customised learning in today’s virtual world David Deegan, Graham Bell, Dr Imran Zawwar, Cranfield Executive Development [WATCH ON DEMAND](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/en/delivering-customised-learning-in-todays-virtual-world-od)** **Episode 4: Innovation design thinking** Dr Imran Zawwar, Cranfield School of Management [WATCH ON DEMAND](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/en/innovation-design-thinking-od) **Episode 5: Think big, act small** Stephen Carver, Cranfield School of Management [**WATCH ON DEMAND**](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/en/think-big-act-small-od) **Episode 6: Business transformation: A story of emergence in a sea of ambiguity** Mark Threlfall, Cranfield School of Management [WATCH ON DEMAND](https://blog.som.cranfield.ac.uk/en/business-transformation-a-story-of-emergence-in-a-sea-of-ambiguity-od)   **eBook** ### Prospering after the crisis: Surviving and thriving a new world order In this e-book, and through our series of related webinars, our faculty and partners draw on their expertise and experience to offer practical advice on how business leaders can reposition, reskill and reshape their organisations for business success right now as well as for future agility.
