Deep dives
The Concept of Permacrisis
The term 'Permacrisis' is introduced to explain the persistent and recurring nature of crises in today's global landscape, highlighting the accumulation of geopolitical tensions, economic instabilities, and environmental challenges. The authors emphasize that this is not a permanent state but rather a reflection of ongoing structural changes that can be addressed through proactive management and leadership. Their discussions stemmed from conversations during the pandemic, where they sought to understand these complexities and how individuals can navigate them. In the book, they propose that recognizing the dynamics of a perma crisis is essential to facilitate better decision-making and foster resilience in an unstable environment.
