In this exceptionally turbulent global business, social and political environment, only those who can predict the weather and prepare for the storms will thrive.
The coronavirus pandemic created an unprecedentedly chaotic new normal. Protests nationwide, deep social divisions, massive economic disruption, recent elections, an insurrection attempt, war in Ukraine and partisan political gridlock have added even more tumult to a dynamic landscape.
On any given morning, the unexpected could happen and turn any operation completely upside down. A new coronavirus outbreak, a new government stimulus package, a Supreme Court decision, a Cabinet Secretary stepping down, a total government shutdown, or a merely a Presidential Tweet, can send shockwaves across a cause or company worldwide. This is especially true for any organization that does business with the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs or the government more broadly at the federal, state or local level. And the 2022 midterm elections and 2024 Presidential Election will drive and disrupt an already stormy environment even more dramatically. Chaos is the new normal.
But it’s not only about playing defense. Every crisis also provides an opportunity. Established players are crumbling. Government funds are flying out rapidly. Philanthropy from all leaders is now expected. With expanded privatization under the Trump Administration, government expansion under Biden, a growing focus on innovation and the urgent need for new technology at the federal and local level, opportunities are plentiful. If you can find them.
