COVID-19 scenarios-to-strategy virtual lab

Prepare your organization to thrive for the next 3-5 years in a world remade by the pandemic

The Deloitte Greenhouse® has designed a new virtual lab experience to help leaders think more deeply about how the future course of the current crisis will affect their organization—and what to do about it.

Prepare your organization to thrive in the post-pandemic environment

Many organizations globally are grappling with how to respond to the public health and economic crises of COVID-19. Historically, organizations that respond well to crises may emerge even stronger than they were before.

Responding well to crises is a delicate balancing act between a sense of urgency and a sense of perspective—with one eye on the pressing needs of today and one on the strategic positioning for tomorrow’s success.

To help our clients respond to this crisis effectively, Deloitte has created a set of scenarios* addressing the potential future trajectories of the COVID-19 global pandemic over the next 3-5 years, including social and economic impacts. These scenarios can provide a powerful tool to craft effective strategic responses, based on a 360-degree view of the possibilities.

However, a report by itself—no matter how insightful—does not spark action. A deep understanding of the scenarios can be important for organizations to translate into customized insights and action plans.

A Deloitte Greenhouse® lab designed to help leaders make sense of the future

The Deloitte Greenhouse® team has designed a half-day virtual lab experience for engaging participants in thinking more deeply about how the future course of the COVID-19 crisis could affect their organization—and what to potentially do about it.

The experience is delivered by Deloitte Greenhouse facilitators skilled not only at traditional facilitation, but also at strategic framing, engagement, intervention, analysis, and synthesis. Using insights from the fields of group dynamics, environmental psychology, design thinking, and innovation theory, this lab is an immersive virtual sessions that encourage collaboration, interaction, and unordinary thinking to help you build an understanding of the scenarios, identify the implications to your organization, and determine your company’s posture towards the future and create an adaptable, high-level action plan.
