This masterclass will introduce you to a framework to understand the role of entrepreneurs in the creation of well-being, creative expression and what makes entrepreneurs resilient.
Resilience is a rich and complex process. Because of the mercurial nature of causes and conditions that precipitate resilience, it is difficult, if not impossible, to create a static theory of resilience. However resilience is a way of being and doing, not an end state. Initiatives and strategies are never finished, much less set in stone, because conditions are unlikely to remain constant. Resilience-building efforts must adapt as conditions and needs change.
Therefore we will frame resilience not only as a strategy to bounce back business in difficult environments but a new way of understanding what makes the difference when things get really tough.
Crisis is not only owned by the emerging markets and developing countries but is a condition that can hit any well developed economy, cities and even neighborhoods through economic and political crisis, social unrest and environmental catastrophes to mention a few.
Through showcasing the results of a study and examples, you will leave this masterclass with a new framework and practical ideas for strategies to make your ecosystem and its participants better prepared for situations that require the capacity, skills and qualities to ultimately thrive despite the conditions in challenging environments and moments.
