In the event of a crisis, the solution requires thinking and working together, taking into account all human aspects: managers, subordinates, customers, partners, suppliers.

In order to deal with this difficult situation, we would like to bring to your attention some thoughts and real-life examples based on Frederic Laloux's book, about how the "organizations of the future" deal with crisis situations like this.

​

We recommend these to everyone, but especially to CEOs and HR managers!

 

• FAVI crisis:"Car orders fell due to the Gulf War. … There was only one obvious solution: to fire those employed on fixed-term contracts.”

​

• Buurtzorg crisis:“In 2010…health insurance companies threaten to withhold payments of four million euros. … The horror of collapse threatened.”

​

• AES crisis:“In the fall of 2001, after the terrorist attacks and the collapse of Enron, EAS stock began to plummet. … The most pressing question was: how many power plants should they sell and which ones…”

​

• AES redundancies:"...almost every time we encountered an overstaffing. … It was only rarely necessary to ask people to leave.”

The "human" solutions to the above stories can be found in the details of the book below:
