Corona virus infects our bodies, but it also infects our homes, communities, and organizations. Public health professionals and health care providers are courageously dealing with the wicked issues of physical wellbeing. Like most times of chaotic transformation, this moment holds tremendous danger and opportunity. We must address the wicked issues that influence how we see, understand, and influence the present and our emerging future. We must choose and act in this moment of complexity and uncertainty.

We are living in turbulent, chaotic, and complex times. Right now, every hour seems to bring a new challenge, and change feels more and more radical.Resources are short, and expectations are high. People who are under great stress can become defensive and erratic, or passive and helpless.Novel problems demand creative solutions, at the same time that our organizations and teams are stretching to the breaking point.

In simpler times, change came slowly, if at all. Consultants could learn models and methods in graduate school and use them throughout their careers. They could take a solution that worked with one client and confidently transfer it to another. Those days are past. Support your clients in dealing with the complexity of their workplace or community.
