Imagine a rubber band that snaps back to its original shape after being stretched; that is how most people handle crises. This work suggests that instead of just snapping back, we should evolve into a stronger, better version of ourselves. It studies how cities and governments can use a crisis to actually improve their laws and services rather than just surviving.
Organizations and governments often try to return to 'normal' after a crisis, which ignores the root causes of the failure. This prevents them from evolving and improving their systems for the next disruption.
A learning hub and a set of policy recommendations based on the analysis of 16 localities and 3 major crises.
If you are a government strategy firm dealing with outdated disaster recovery plans — this project developed a new crisis management mindset that helps clients build back better instead of just returning to the old status quo.
If you are a law firm dealing with the tension between emergency laws and fundamental rights — this project developed evidence on how democratic institutions can uphold the rule of law during turbulence.
